August weather forecast
Hunukú, Mexico

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Hunukú, Mexico, with an average temperature fluctuating between 23.2°C (73.8°F) and 34.5°C (94.1°F).

Temperature

The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.5°C (94.1°F), subtly different from the previous month. Hunukú's average low-temperature in August is measured at a moderately hot 23.2°C (73.8°F).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 78%.

Rainfall

In August, the rain falls for 20.8 days. Throughout August, 61mm (2.4") of precipitation is accumulated. In Hunukú, during the entire year, the rain falls for 195.8 days and collects up to 599mm (23.58") of precipitation.

Sunshine

In August, the average sunshine is 9.7h.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are March through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in August transforms into the following instructions:
Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
