Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C), nearly identical to July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 66.4°F (19.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
