Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still warm 81.3°F (27.4°C) from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a comfortable 64°F (17.8°C) during August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If one stays active during extended exposure, it might induce fatigue and result in heat cramps.Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes.
