Weather in August
Temperature
A minimal variation is noted in Diaka's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still very hot 35.3°C (95.5°F) from July's 37.2°C (99°F). Diaka's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to a warm 27°C (80.6°F).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a blistering 42°C (107.6°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
Humidity
The most humid month is August, with an average relative humidity of 52%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 13.3 days and typically aggregates up to 74mm (2.91") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 11h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 8. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: An average UV index of 8 in August transforms into this advice:
Always be cautious. Skin and eyes can be affected swiftly without protection. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
