Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), subtly different from July's 89.1°F (31.7°C). The average low-temperature of 77.2°F (25.1°C) is witnessed during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. 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. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
