Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. August nights experience a minor temperature downturn to a still warm 77.7°F (25.4°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at a tropical 91.4°F (33°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for 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.

Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Be cautious! Sand and water surfaces make the Sun's UV rays more potent.
