Weather in August

In August, Bangassou experiences a minor surge in rainfall from 143mm (5.63") to 168mm (6.61"). Yet, this month stands out with the longest persisting cloud cover in the year, adding a touch of gloom to the city's atmosphere. While the maximum temperatures remain consistent with July, the wind speed dips to a yearly low of just 3.7km/h (2.3mph), which results in the humid conditions persisting longer. Despite the extra cloud cover and increased rainfall, daylight hours remain consistent, ensuring that days continue to receive adequate sunlight. Thus, August symbolizes the tail-end of the rainy season in Bangassou.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant 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.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
