Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Vulcan, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 87.8°F (31°C) and 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), slightly varied from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). Vulcan registers a pronounced decline from daytime peak temperatures, averaging an enjoyable 65.8°F (18.8°C) lows in August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
