Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Belle Rose, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 74.8°F (23.8°C) and 90.1°F (32.3°C).

Temperature

In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), nearly identical to July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). An average low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C) is recorded during the nights in August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
