Weather in August
Temperature
Boudangou's August weather, marked by an average high temperature of 31.3°C (88.3°F) and an average low temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F), is the coldest in the year.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection.
