Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. Mar-Mac, during August nights, observes an average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
