Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), showing a minute difference from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). Despite the drastic temperature difference, Thornfield records an average nighttime low of 66.7°F (19.3°C) throughout August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
