Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 79%.

Rainfall

In August, the rain falls for 21.8 days. Throughout August, 94mm (3.7") of precipitation is accumulated. In Xul-Ha, during the entire year, the rain falls for 198.4 days and collects up to 752mm (29.61") of precipitation.

UV index

The months with the lowest UV index are January, February, August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the Sun is most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
