Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Freeport, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 71.2°F (21.8°C) and 91.4°F (33°C).

Temperature

Freeport records an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.4°F (33°C) in August, closely mirroring the climate of the previous month. In August, Freeport reports a consistent average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during the nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
