Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). In August, the average low-temperature records at a pleasant 68.9°F (20.5°C) during the nights.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
