August weather forecast
Ucú, Mexico

The last month of the summer, August, is also a fiery hot month in Ucú, Mexico, with an average temperature varying between 23.7°C (74.7°F) and 35°C (95°F).

Temperature

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35°C (95°F) mirrors that of July. During the month of August, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 23.7°C (74.7°F).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 53°C (127.4°F). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youngsters frequently overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is an advanced sign of dehydration - thereby highlighting the importance of keeping hydrated, particularly during long physical activities.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Follow precautions and abide by sun safety rules. Deterrence of sunburn is imperative. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
