Weather in August
Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), slightly varied from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). August nights experience a minor temperature downturn to a warm 78.4°F (25.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
