Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 92.1°F (33.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). An average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) marks the nights throughout August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to 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.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
