Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. The average nighttime temperature lowers to an agreeable 69.6°F (20.9°C) throughout August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
