Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), subtly different from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Throughout August, Howells registers a consistent average low-temperature of 73.6°F (23.1°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
