Weather in August
Temperature
August, with average temperatures reaching a high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and a low of 81.3°F (27.4°C), is the warmest month.Heat index
During August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', 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. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat. Stay aware! UV radiation is magnified when reflecting off sand and water.
