Weather in August
Temperature
August, characterized by an average high temperature of 87.4°F (30.8°C) and a low temperature of 78.4°F (25.8°C), is generally the warmest month.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
June through August, with an average relative humidity of 79%, are the most humid months.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 25.9 days and typically aggregates up to 6.3" (160mm) of precipitation.Ocean temperature

Sunshine

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
