Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), showing little difference from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). August generally records an average low-temperature of 74.5°F (23.6°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
