Weather in August
Temperature
Siloam registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C) at the commencement of August, closely related to the preceding month. Significant dips from daytime highs mark the August nights, with a consistent average temperature of 65.1°F (18.4°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
