Weather in August
Temperature
In the transition from July to August, Gheens reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C), indicating a close resemblance to the prior month. In August, Gheens experiences an average nighttime temperature of 77°F (25°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes.
