Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) from July's 87.8°F (31°C). In August, the recorded average low-temperature is a pleasant 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
