Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), hardly diverging from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Throughout the nights in August, Forest experiences an average low-temperature of 72.9°F (22.7°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
