Weather in August
Temperature
In Aguacate, August is identified by the highest average temperatures, reaching a peak of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low of 19.9°C (67.8°F).Heat index
August's mean heat index is evaluated at a very hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise enhanced safety steps, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke could be a result of sustained activity.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
