Temperature

August brings a marginal elevation to a still tropical 31.2°C (88.2°F) from July's 30.6°C (87.1°F) in Tipitapa's average high-temperatures. An average low-temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) is anticipated throughout the nights in Tipitapa during August.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for 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.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 80%.

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are January through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Undertake precautions and comply with sun safety standards. Protection from skin and eye injury is vital. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
