Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is a tropical month in Monkey Town, Trinidad and Tobago, with an average temperature varying between 30.2°C (86.4°F) and 26°C (78.8°F).

Temperature

August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a tropical 30.2°C (86.4°F) from July's 29.7°C (85.5°F). Monkey Town logs an average low-temperature of 26°C (78.8°F) during the nights of August, subtly lower than its daytime highs.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
