Weather in August
Temperature
August is Pataque's coldest month, registering average high temperatures of 28.7°C (83.7°F) and lows of 22.9°C (73.2°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a very hot 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
