Weather in August
Temperature
Forestdale ushers in August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), showing a close resemblance to the previous month. August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to a warm 75.4°F (24.1°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Stay clear of intense sun exposure. Solar protection is of utmost significance.
