Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), slightly varied from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). Waterford registers a consistent average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
