Weather in August
Temperature
Edgard records a slight change with August's average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 89.6°F (32°C) from July's 90°F (32.2°C). Edgard's temperature drops to an average low of 75.7°F (24.3°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
