Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset corresponds to a marginal change in the average high-temperature to a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), matching July's readings. Throughout the month of August, Quezalapa reports a steady low-temperature average of 20.3°C (68.5°F).Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. 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. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
