Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), nearly identical to July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). The August nights bear witness to a significant drop from the daytime highs, settling at an average temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
