Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
