Malabar, FL

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Malabar, Florida, with an average temperature varying between 86.7°F (30.4°C) and 79.3°F (26.3°C).

Temperature

The warmest period is August, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 86.7°F (30.4°C) and a low of 79.3°F (26.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. 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. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are June through August, with an average relative humidity of 79%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall in Malabar is August, when the rain falls for 25.5 days and typically aggregates up to 6.85" (174mm) of precipitation.

Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses. Alert! UV radiation becomes sharper due to reflections from sand and water.
