Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C), nearly identical to July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). During August nights, Ritchey records an average temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
