Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Climax, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 67.3°F (19.6°C) and 87.4°F (30.8°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature in August, at a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), reveals a modest deviation from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Throughout August, the nighttime temperature averages to a comfortable 67.3°F (19.6°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
