Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.2°F (32.9°C), indicating a minor variance from the prior month. An average nighttime temperature of 74.7°F (23.7°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
