Stepping into August, weather characteristics remain consistent with the preceding month. The frequency of rainfalls continues to dominate yet shows subtle signs of reduction. In terms of sunshine duration, we observe a slight drop from July's 11.2 hours to 11.1 hours. However, both the temperature and humidity remain comparatively stable, rendering August a warmer month within the rainy season. Despite the prevailing rainfalls, the pleasant climate persists.

Temperature

Joya de Ceren greets August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 30°C (86°F), marking a slight deviation from the preceding month. Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 22.1°C (71.8°F) is noted.

Heat index

The heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.
Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. 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 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.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
