Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Maple Hill's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 71.8°F (22.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
