Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. In August, the temperature drops to an average of 66.9°F (19.4°C) at night.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). Ongoing exposure and activity could lead to a state of exhaustion, with a chance of heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
