Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). From significant daily highs, Petros's nights in August cool down to an average low-temperature of 63.9°F (17.7°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be 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.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. 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. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
