Temperature

The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 91.2°F (32.9°C) from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Throughout August, the average low-temperature dips to a warm 74.8°F (23.8°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
