Weather in August
Temperature
August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C), almost identical to the preceding month. During August, Hortons Mill observes a consistent average nighttime temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
