Weather in August
August, the last month of the summer in Cuba, is also a sweltering month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 36.3°C (97.3°F) and 24.2°C (75.6°F).Temperature
The average high-temperature in August, at a still fiery hot 36.3°C (97.3°F), reveals a modest deviation from July's 36.8°C (98.2°F). Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during August, averaging at a warm 24.2°C (75.6°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 56°C (132.8°F). Warning: These weather conditions are identified as gravely perilous, heatstroke is near.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

January, April through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
