Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). An average nighttime temperature of 73.6°F (23.1°C) is recorded during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
