Weather in August
Temperature
With the arrival of August, Clearwater's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 90.9°F (32.7°C), indicating a subtle variation from the previous month. An average nighttime temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during August.Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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 human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
