Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Chumatlan, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 32°C (89.6°F) and 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32°C (89.6°F), nearly identical to July's 31.8°C (89.2°F). Throughout August, Chumatlan witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 22.4°C (72.3°F).

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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 human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
