August weather forecast
Mejicanos, El Salvador

August follows closely behind July, parroting many of July's weather features, including sunlight hours and relative humidity. The notably stable wind gust maintains its pace at 8.1km/h (5mph), while rainfall records a slight increase to 159mm (6.26"). The atmospheric pressure takes a slight dip compared to July, registering 1011.8mb. Interestingly, the overall visibility drops a notch to 9km (5.6mi); however, it complements the weather's assorted mix. A highlight in the month's climatic calendar remains the consistent UV index, cementing itself at 6.

Temperature

August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30.8°C (87.4°F), subtly differing from July's 31°C (87.8°F). An average low-temperature of 21.6°C (70.9°F) is common during the nights of August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Undertake additional safety actions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Persistent activity may induce heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Stick with precautions and abide by sun safety procedures. Evading sunburn is essential. Remember that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
