Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), showing a minute difference from July's 91.2°F (32.9°C). Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 71.1°F (21.7°C) is noted.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by 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. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
