Weather in August
Temperature
Dory observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C) in August, barely different from 89.4°F (31.9°C) in July. During August, Dory consistently records a temperature low averaging a pleasant 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
