Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C) in August, hardly different from the 90.1°F (32.3°C) recorded in July. Throughout August, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 71.4°F (21.9°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
