Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August introduces an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. August introduces a small decrease to a nighttime average of 77.7°F (25.4°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.

Ward off overexposure. Defence against solar harm is crucial. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely. Watch out! Reflections from sand and water can surge UV radiation exposure.
