August weather forecast
Livingston, Guatemala

Livingston in August carries forward the monsoon legacy from July. The weather condition resonates with July but with marginally toned-down intensity. August steers clear of being labelled as the wettest month, but it does not shy away from the showers. The sea remains warm aligning with the coastal climate of the town. Moving towards September, a gradual decrease in precipitation and slight variations in temperature can be expected.

Temperature

August observes an average high-temperature of a tropical 30.3°C (86.5°F), marking an insignificant difference from July's 29.7°C (85.5°F). The average temperature during August nights dips to a moderately hot 23.8°C (74.8°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is estimated at a sweltering 39°C (102.2°F). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Stay out of direct sunlight and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest, but remember that shade devices may not offer full sun protection. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense. Stay aware! UV radiation is magnified when reflecting off sand and water.
