Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), aligning closely with July. Fountain, in August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
