Weather in August
Temperature
In Las Barias, Dominican Republic, the peak temperatures are generally noted in August, averaging a high of 30°C (86°F) and a low of 24.3°C (75.7°F).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. 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 quite important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
