Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), a near match to July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). The average low-temperature, in August, is an agreeable 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
