Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still tropical 33.2°C (91.8°F) in August, hardly different from the 32.6°C (90.7°F) recorded in July. An average temperature of 21.8°C (71.2°F) marks the nights in Tikal in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. 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. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
