Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), barely different from July's 92.7°F (33.7°C). An average low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be cautious: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a possible consequence of continuous physical effort.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. 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. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
