Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C) from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). During August, the temperature tends to dip to an average of 71.4°F (21.9°C) at night.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
