August weather forecast
Cerritos, Honduras

The last month of the summer, August, is a tropical month in Cerritos, Honduras, with an average temperature ranging between min 23.2°C (73.8°F) and max 30.6°C (87.1°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a hot 30.6°C (87.1°F) from July's 29.9°C (85.8°F). Cerritos's average low-temperature is measured at a moderately hot 23.2°C (73.8°F) during August.

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 81%.

Note: The maximum daily UV index, 7 in August, converts into the following recommendations:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
