Weather in August
Temperature
Transitioning from July to August, Ophir observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), differing subtly from the previous month. During August, the average low-temperature is a refreshing 67.8°F (19.9°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Implement preventive steps and embrace sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye distress is compulsory. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
