Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), slightly deviating from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Throughout the month of August, Rafn witnesses an average temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
