Weather in August
Temperature
August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.9°C (89.4°F), nearly identical to the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 24.7°C (76.5°F) marks the month of August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.

The months with the highest UV index are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 7 leads to the following instructions:
Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
