Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing little difference from July's 89.6°F (32°C). Dupont Station's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 76.3°F (24.6°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
