Weather in August
Temperature
The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 75.6°F (24.2°C) marks the nights throughout August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
