Temperature

Gaskin experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C) with the onset of August, subtly varied from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Nighttime temperature dips to a mean of 73.6°F (23.1°C) during August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
