Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Hermitage, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 87.4°F (30.8°C) and 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Temperature

The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), subtly shifted from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). During the nights in August, Hermitage experiences a consistent average temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
