Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). An average nighttime temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is recorded during August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
