Weather in August
Temperature
Transitioning into August, Fairgrove records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), almost identical to July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). August nights indicate a noticeable temperature drop from the daytime highs, with an average reading lowering to a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
