Weather in August

August maintains the heat streak set by July, with temperatures still hovering around the 80s. The weather remains rather humid during the month, while the temperatures pitch at 88°F (31.1°C). Although there is a subtle decline in temperatures towards the end of August, this does little to alleviate the prevailing hot conditions. Outdoor activities continue to dominate the local scene, although they might be planned around early morning or late evening to beat the heat.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
