Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Leopold, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 86.5°F (30.3°C) and 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Temperature

Leopold starts August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), a minor shift from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). An average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C) is expected during August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
