Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), showing little difference from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). With a significant daily temperature differential, Portair's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate 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. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
