Weather in August
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), subtly contrasting with July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). In Farrington, August nights witness a steady temperature drop to an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
