Weather in August
Temperature
MacMillan notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C) in August, displaying minor variation from July. In MacMillan, August nights cool down to an average of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. 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. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

The months with the highest UV index are June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
