Weather in August
Temperature
August ushers in an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C), aligning closely with the preceding month. Star anticipates an average minimum temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) in the month of August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.2h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
