Weather in August
Temperature
Dismal Key's warmest temperatures are experienced in August, with average high temperatures of 88.3°F (31.3°C) and lows of 80.2°F (26.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
