Temperature

August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.1°C (88°F), showing little deviation from July. An average low-temperature of 22.6°C (72.7°F) is noted during the nights in August.

Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 83%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 29.2 days and accumulates 153mm (6.02") of precipitation.

Daylight

UV index

The months with the highest UV index are April through September, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the average person.
Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 translates into these guidelines:
Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. 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. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
