Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature is a still tropical 31.6°C (88.9°F) in August, hardly different from the 31.8°C (89.2°F) recorded in July. In San Cristobal, an average nighttime temperature of 25.9°C (78.6°F) is expected during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. 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. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Implement precautions and maintain sun safety methods. Avoidance of sunburn is demanded. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
