Temperature

The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), barely varying from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Heat index

Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
