Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), subtly different from July's 91.2°F (32.9°C). Big Creek's temperature drops to an average low of 70.7°F (21.5°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
