Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature in August, at a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), reveals a modest deviation from July's 91.6°F (33.1°C). An average low-temperature of 72.9°F (22.7°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
