Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), almost identical to the preceding month. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
