Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C) from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). An average temperature of 72.9°F (22.7°C) marks the nights in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. 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. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
