Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August brings with it an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C), showing a negligible variation from the month before. The month of August records an average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of 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 especially vital to children. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. 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. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
