Weather in August
Temperature
The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at a pleasant 72.3°F (22.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. 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 risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the UV index of 7 transforms into the following advice:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
