Weather in August
Temperature
La Cueva's peak temperatures tend to occur in June and August, with an average high-temperature of 87.1°F.Heat index
For August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F. Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. 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. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Sunshine

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 transforms into these recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
