Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. In the month of August, an average of 69.6°F (20.9°C) marks the low-temperature.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
