Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. In the month of August, the average low-temperature usually rests at an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
