Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Douglass Crossroads, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 90.5°F (32.5°C) and 75.6°F (24.2°C).

Temperature

The initiation of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), showing minor variations from the previous month. In Douglass Crossroads, the average temperature during the nights of August drops to a moderately hot 75.6°F (24.2°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 quite important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
