Weather in August
Temperature
The unfolding of August shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), indicating a slight variance from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). Palmyra anticipates an average minimum temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) in the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is appraised at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
