Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Major records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). Major's average low-temperature in the month of August is recorded at an agreeable 69.8°F (21°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in August converts into the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
