Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. During August, an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) is observed.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
