Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.8°C (85.6°F), barely different from July's 29.6°C (85.3°F). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 22.8°C (73°F) is experienced.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In the presence of high relative humidity, the evaporation rate diminishes, resulting in the body retaining more warmth compared to dry conditions. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 85%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 26.8 days and typically aggregates up to 228mm (8.98") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
In Cañaveral, the average sunshine in August is 7.4h.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index are July through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: A daily high UV index of 6 in August leads to these guidelines:
Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
