Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), closely mirroring July's climate. During the nights in August, Risers experiences a consistent average temperature of 70°F (21.1°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 are of high significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
