Weather in August
Temperature
August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), not much different from the preceding month. In Dunbar, August is marked by an average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
