Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in La Estrella, Cuba, with an average temperature varying between 23.2°C (73.8°F) and 32.5°C (90.5°F).

Temperature

August, with average temperatures reaching a high of 32.5°C (90.5°F) and a low of 23.2°C (73.8°F), is the warmest month.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
