Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing little deviation from July. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating 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. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
