Weather in August
Temperature
August is the month when El Mamey experiences its warmest temperatures, averaging a high of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a low of 22.6°C (72.7°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be a scorching 44°C (111.2°F). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. By wearing a generously brimmed hat, you can cut UV radiation exposure significantly.
