Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature for August is a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the preceding month. The average low-temperature during August nights is an agreeable 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
