Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), hardly diverging from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted during the month of August, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a refreshing 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in August, converts into the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
