Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). In stark contrast to the day's heat, the temperature dips to an average of 64.2°F (17.9°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
