Weather in August
Temperature
Jonestown's entry into August measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), closely parallel to the preceding month. During the month of August, Jonestown anticipates a mean low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. 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', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. 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. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
