Temperature

Kantunil's August reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 34.5°C (94.1°F), exhibiting a minor difference from July. Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 23.2°C (73.8°F) is noted.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is evaluated at a burning hot 53°C (127.4°F). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. 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 extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
