August weather forecast
Jupiter, FL

August, the last month of the summer in Jupiter, is also a hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.4°F (30.2°C) and 81.1°F (27.3°C).

Temperature

Jupiter sees the highest average temperatures during the months of July and August, peaking at 86.4°F (30.2°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. 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. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 76%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 26.4 days and typically aggregates up to 8.11" (206mm) of precipitation.

Ocean temperature

August is the month with the warmest seawater, with an average ocean temperature of 85.6°F (29.8°C).
Note: Between 77°F (25°C) and 84.2°F (29°C), water temperature is typically considered very warm and pleasurable by everyone. Water activities at these temperatures are enjoyable for extended periods without discomfort.

Daylight

In Jupiter, the average length of the day in August is 13h and 4min.
On the first day of August in Jupiter, sunrise is at 6:45 am and sunset at 8:08 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:59 am and sunset at 7:41 pm EDT.

Sunshine

In August, the average sunshine in Jupiter is 10.7h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Be mindful! Sand and water reflections can up the Sun's UV exposure.
