Weather in August

August continues the trend of warm weather from July in Luquillo. It's a time when the sun paints its golden hues across the Puerto Rican landscape. Simultaneously, rainfall continues its upward trend, touching its annual peak at 2.83" (72mm). The average wind speed, however, takes a downturn to 11.4mph (18.3km/h) during August, slightly less breezy than the rest of the months. As the sun begins to mellow down and daylight hours reduce to 12.7 hours, the countdown to the end of the ardent summer begins.

Temperature

In Luquillo, the average temperatures in August are the highest, with a peak at 84.2°F (29°C) and a low of 80.2°F (26.8°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

UV index

Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
