Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August introduces an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. Throughout the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 73.8°F (23.2°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
