Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), hardly diverging from July's 91°F (32.8°C). August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
