Weather in August
Temperature
In Punta Gorda, the warmest period comes during July and August, when the average high-temperature touches 90.1°F (32.3°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is evaluated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
