Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 86°F (30°C) from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). An average low-temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) is noted during the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular 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.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
