Weather in August
Temperature
August stands out as Key Biscayne's warmest month, with temperatures ranging between an average high of 87.1°F (30.6°C) and a low of 82.6°F (28.1°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. 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.
Perspiration, followed by sweat evaporation, is the human body's chief method to maintain a balanced temperature. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in August translates into this advice:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended. Be careful! The Sun's UV radiation is accentuated by reflecting off sand and water.
