August, the last month of the summer in Lucas, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 91.4°F (33°C) and an average low of 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Lucas marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), subtly divergent from July's 92.7°F (33.7°C). Lucas documents a striking divergence from daytime highs, with an average nighttime temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) in August.

Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

July and August, with an average relative humidity of 71%, are the least humid months.
