Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a hot 34.7°C (94.5°F), barely varying from July's 36.8°C (98.2°F). Throughout August, Ounougou experiences a low-temperature average of 26.5°C (79.7°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Always be mindful of protection. The risk of damage to skin and eyes is significant if neglected. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
