Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Malcolm, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 91.9°F (33.3°C) and min 73.6°F (23.1°C).

Temperature

Malcolm marks the arrival of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), hardly different from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). The temperature lowers to an average of 73.6°F (23.1°C) during August nights.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
