Weather in August
Temperature
As May steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), displaying minor differences from July's 94.1°F (34.5°C). May anticipates an average minimum temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C) in the month of August.Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Exercise precautions and adapt sun safety practices. Defence against skin and eye affliction is paramount. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
