Weather in August
Temperature
August ushers in an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), aligning closely with the preceding month. The low-temperature averages to a pleasant 71.2°F (21.8°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 74%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 18.8 days and typically aggregates up to 2.52" (64mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.3h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following instructions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
