August, the last month of the summer in Buena Vista, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C) and an average high of 89.8°F (32.1°C).

Temperature

The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), from a not significantly different 90.7°F (32.6°C). During the nights in August, the temperature averages to a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
