Weather in August
Temperature
July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
