Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C), from a not significantly different 92.8°F (33.8°C). Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 74.8°F (23.8°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during August morphs into the following directions:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
