Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 90.9°F (32.7°C), subtly different from July's 91.4°F (33°C). The average low-temperature, in August, is a pleasant 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. 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 hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
