Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C) from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) is recorded.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance 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.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
