Weather in August
Temperature
August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), almost identical to the preceding month. Pijigua records an average low of 24.2°C (75.6°F) throughout the nights in August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a hat with a wide brim for robust protection, cutting UV exposure by half.
