Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Alexander, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 90.1°F (32.3°C) and 72.5°F (22.5°C).

Temperature

Alexander experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with July's 91.4°F (33°C). In August, the temperature drops to an average of 72.5°F (22.5°C) at night.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical 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.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
