Weather in August

In August, Cameron's weather remains steadfastly summer-like, showing comparable temperatures to July. The sea temperature achieves its yearly peak, averaging out at 87.4°F (30.8°C). Higher humidity levels combine with warm temperatures, leading to thunderous late-afternoon storms. When compared to July, noticeable changes are largely absent, apart from a slight drop in the average wind speed to 6.6mph (10.6km/h).

Temperature

The warmest month is August, with an average high-temperature of 91.2°F (32.9°C) and an average low-temperature of 76.8°F (24.9°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. 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. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses. Be vigilant! The Sun's UV rays get a boost from sand and water reflections.
