Weather in August
Temperature
During August, the average high-temperature is a still tropical 92.5°F (33.6°C), maintaining a close resemblance to that of the preceding month. Southwinds, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
