Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.5°F (33.6°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during August nights.Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. 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. 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 hold particular importance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The innate cooling system of the human body revolves around perspiration, with the evaporation of sweat being central to this process. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
