Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), subtly shifted from July's 31.5°C (88.7°F). August nights are marked by an average low-temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum daily UV index of 6 in August interprets into the following recommendations:
Resist extreme sun exposure. Guarding against solar damage is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
