Weather in August

August offers continuous rains, albeit with 114mm (4.49") of precipitation, less than the previous month's levels. The climatic conditions continue to follow the trends observed in July with a similar pattern of temperature, wind speed, and pressure. Humidity continues to remain high, which combined with the rainfall can lead to a slightly muggy atmosphere. As is often in a tropical climate, despite the persistent rain showers, pockets of clear skies allow for bouts of sunshine. These bright intervals, however fleeting, add a dynamic element to Jalapa's August weather.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a hot 33°C (91.4°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
