Weather in August
Temperature
El Amparo records an average high-temperature of a still hot 30.7°C (87.3°F) as August arrives, nearly mirroring the previous month's climate. El Amparo, during August nights, observes an average temperature of 24.3°C (75.7°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
