Weather in August
An excellent water temperature of 25°C (77°F) and only 0.6 rainfall days, with 1mm (0.04") of accumulated rainfall, makes August a prime for swimming and other water activities.
Temperature
The warmest time of the year is August, with temperatures averaging a high of 27.4°C (81.3°F) and a low of 23.4°C (74.1°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at 29°C (84.2°F). Continued exposure and engagement in activity might trigger tiredness and subsequently heat cramps.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 69%.Rainfall
August is the month with the least rainfall. Rain falls for 0.6 days and accumulates 1mm (0.04") of precipitation.Sea temperature

July and August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays. Caution! Sand and water reflections can notably increase the UV radiation intensity.
