Weather in August
Temperature
Pelham's shift from July to August is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), a slight deviation from 90.5°F (32.5°C). During the month of August, Pelham's nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 71.4°F (21.9°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
