Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), barely different from July's 88°F (31.1°C). An average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) is expected during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
