Weather in August
Temperature
Ventanas experiences an average high-temperature of a hot 30.4°C (86.7°F) with the onset of August, subtly varied from July's 29.2°C (84.6°F). In the month of August, Ventanas's average low-temperature falls to an agreeable 20.1°C (68.2°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 39°C (102.2°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 79%.Rainfall
August and November are months with the least rain when the rain falls for 20.8 days and typically aggregates up to 42mm (1.65") of rain.Daylight

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 6.6h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are February through May, July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Persist with precautions and heed sun safety advice. Prevention of sunburn is compulsory. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
