Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), showing a slight difference from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Throughout August, the nighttime temperature averages to an agreeable 69.6°F (20.9°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time.
