Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), barely different from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). During the month of August, Dora anticipates a mean low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
