Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C), showing little deviation from July. During August, Cancienne sees a mean low-temperature of 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. 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. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
