Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C) from July's 91°F (32.8°C) in the average high-temperature. An average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
