Weather in August
Temperature
Palenque, Panama, starts August with an average high-temperature of a still warm 28.5°C (83.3°F), a minor shift from July's 28.3°C (82.9°F). Palenque's nighttime average temperature in August drops marginally from the daytime highs, settling at a still moderately hot 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 34°C (93.2°F). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
