Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, a modest change to a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 90°F (32.2°C) is noted in high-temperature. An average nighttime temperature of 75.7°F (24.3°C) is observed during August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. 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.

Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
