Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C) is expected.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
