Weather in August
Temperature
As Winnabow transitions from July to August, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C), nearly the same as the previous 88.9°F (31.6°C). The average low-temperature of 73.8°F (23.2°C) is witnessed during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 104°F (40°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following instructions:
Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Sun protection is enhanced with clothing that boasts a tight weave yet offers a loose fit.
