Temperature

In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still warm 83.3°F (28.5°C), nearly identical to July's 84.7°F (29.3°C). During August, the average low-temperature is a pleasant 70.5°F (21.4°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
