Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. Throughout August, Winston acknowledges a distinct difference between its daytime highs and the steady low average of 63°F (17.2°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
