Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Tranquillity, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.9°F (30.5°C) and min 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Temperature

August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), closely mirroring July's climate. With a significant daily temperature differential, Tranquillity's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
