Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Leonard, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 87.1°F (30.6°C) and min 68°F (20°C).

With the onset of August, a modest change to a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C) from July's 88°F (31.1°C) is noted in high-temperature. The average temperature during August nights is registered at a pleasant 68°F (20°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
