Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), subtly different from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). The average low-temperature of 70.2°F (21.2°C) in August represents a significant drop from the daily high.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, noting that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer complete sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
