Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), revealing a mild distinction from the 90.3°F (32.4°C) in July. Throughout August, the temperature falls to an average low of 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
