August, the last month of the summer in Manasota, is another tropical month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 87.8°F (31°C) and an average low of 80.2°F (26.8°C).

Temperature

August is the warmest month of the year, registering average temperatures as high as 87.8°F (31°C) and as low as 80.2°F (26.8°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
