Weather in August
Temperature
Lefourba's coldest month, August, generally records average temperatures ranging from a high of 31.8°C (89.2°F) to a low of 24.2°C (75.6°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost 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. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 during August translates into the following guidance:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
