Weather in August
Temperature
With average high and low temperatures of 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 80.2°F (26.8°C) respectively, August is Plantation Island's warmest month.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
