Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. During the month of August, the nighttime temperature falls to an average of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are quite likely. Heatstroke becomes a risk with continued exertion.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 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection.
