Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). In the month of August, the temperature in Colony generally rests at an average low of 66.9°F (19.4°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
