Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August coincides with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), indicating a minimal shift from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 71.1°F (21.7°C) is noted.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
