Weather in August
Temperature
Riverview's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), nearly identical to the prior month. In August, in Riverview, the average low-temperature is a moderately hot 74.3°F (23.5°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
