August weather forecast
Acandí, Colombia

By August, there isn’t a stark change in Acandí’s weather conditions. The consistency in the tropical temperature emphasizes the region's climate uniformity. A marginal rise in the sea temperature, up to 29.6°C (85.3°F), mildly influences the weather dynamics. Despite the ongoing rainfall pattern, a noticeably sufficient sunshine duration persists. Thus, August largely continues to maintain the same weather characteristics and trends set previously.

Temperature

The month of August, characterized by an average high of 30.6°C (87.1°F) and a low of 23.6°C (74.5°F), is recognized as the warmest in Acandí.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 during August translates into the following directions:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses. Be on guard! The reflective nature of sand and water boosts UV exposure.
