Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. An average low-temperature of 75.7°F (24.3°C) is common during the nights of August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Sunshine

May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 7 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. 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. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
