Weather in August

In August, Clarendon continues to experience typical summer weather - hot and humid, albeit a detour from July's peak heat. The temperatures slightly dip relative to July, hinting at the onset of summer's end. As the rainfall is about the same as July, 3.27" (83mm), the sustained rainfall volume contributes greatly to the verdant landscapes. The culmination of the summer season during August is synonymous with warm, bright days intercalated with periods of refreshing rains.

Temperature

August registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), slightly varied from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). During August, the average low-temperature is a pleasant 70.5°F (21.4°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
