Weather in August
Temperature
Sunset's August average high-temperature settles at a still tropical 88°F (31.1°C), showing a near match with the preceding month. August generally records an average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 of high significance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
