Weather in August
Temperature
Manasota Key's warmest temperatures are experienced in August, with average high temperatures of 88.2°F (31.2°C) and lows of 80.1°F (26.7°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. 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 especially vital to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
