A minor adjustment in Mint's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). Mint registers a prominent dip from daytime highs, with an average of 64.4°F (18°C) during the nights of August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
