Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), closely aligned with July's 91°F (32.8°C). Poley's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 74.8°F (23.8°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.3h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. On sunny days, it's ideal to wear sunglasses that filter out UVA and UVB rays.
