Weather in August
Temperature
Kolokolo's coldest weather arrives in August, when temperatures average a high of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low of 21.8°C (71.2°F).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 82%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 25.3 days and accumulates 148mm (5.83") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

August is the month with the lowest UV index, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is most intense, noting that not all shade structures offer full protection. To cut down UV radiation exposure by about half, sport a wide-brim hat.
