Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Lavinia, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 68.5°F (20.3°C) and 87.3°F (30.7°C).

Temperature

The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), not significantly different from the 87.6°F (30.9°C) of July. The nighttime temperature, during August, averages of 68.5°F (20.3°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
