Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), showing a minute difference from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). Nightly temperatures drop to an average low of 68.7°F (20.4°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
