Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August registers at a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. An average low-temperature of 72°F (22.2°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
