Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Rough Point's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still tropical 86°F (30°C) from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). In Rough Point, August nights witness a steady temperature drop to a comfortable 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
