August is the month when Juragua experiences its warmest temperatures, averaging a high of 31.9°C (89.4°F) and a low of 24.9°C (76.8°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a scorching 43°C (109.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
