Weather in August
Temperature
In Dukes, July and August are characterised by the peak of temperatures, recording an average high of 90.9°F (32.7°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
