The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), subtly contrasting with July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). During August, an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) is observed.

Heat index

It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Note: The maximum UV index, 6 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
