Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). West Point's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to a pleasant 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
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. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
