Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88°F (31.1°C), a near match to July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). A noticeable downturn in temperature characterizes the August nights, averaging at a comfortable 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. 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. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
