Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.8°F (32.1°C), barely different from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). An average temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is recorded during the nights in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
