Weather in August

The heat index for August is calculated to be a tropical 93.2°F (34°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
