Weather in August
Temperature
The month of August, characterized by an average high of 32.5°C (90.5°F) and a low of 23.2°C (73.8°F), is recognized as the warmest.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 81%.Rainfall
In Encrucijada, in August, during 22.8 rainfall days, 105mm (4.13") of precipitation is typically accumulated. Throughout the year, there are 206 rainfall days, and 740mm (29.13") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine
In Encrucijada, the average sunshine in August is 10h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August leads to these instructions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 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. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
