Weather in August

With the transition into August, Edgewater notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.5°F (33.6°C), closely resembling July. During August, Edgewater experiences a consistent low-temperature average of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
