Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), closely related to the 90.5°F (32.5°C) observed in July. An average low-temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) is recorded in the month of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
