Weather in August
Temperature
Alford Acres marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), a subtle shift from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). In the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to a steady average of 74.3°F (23.5°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
