Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. Nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 67.3°F (19.6°C) in August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
