Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), subtly different from the previous month. An average low-temperature of 73.6°F (23.1°C) is observed during the August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Your best bet for sun defense on the face, eyes, and neck is a hat with a wide brim.
