Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, a modest change to a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C) is noted in high-temperature. Socapatoy witnesses an average low-temperature of 69.6°F (20.9°C) throughout the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°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. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
