Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Throughout the August nights, San Mateo encounters a low-temperature of 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. 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. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
