Weather in August
Temperature
In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), nearly identical to July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). Nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 68°F (20°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
