Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Ray, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 89.2°F (31.8°C) and min 69.8°F (21°C).

Temperature

At the start of August, Ray's average high-temperature reaches a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), subtly different from the preceding month. Ray anticipates an average minimum temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) in the month of August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
