August weather forecast
Yirol, South Sudan

Still, despite these consistencies, a small decrease in rainfall to 89mm (3.5") and steady 79% relative humidity regresses from July's high water mark. Although minor changes in the weather pattern show the wet season starting to abate, heavy monsoonal influence dictates the climate. The excess of water and increased cloud cover keep the temperatures in check, preventing any steep increases.

Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat provides unparalleled sun protection for sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and neck.
