Weather in August
Temperature
With its high average temperature of 31.8°C (89.2°F) and a low of 24.2°C (75.6°F), August is regarded as the coldest month.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
Humidity
August is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 70%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall in Yaguema is August, when the rain falls for 20.4 days and typically aggregates up to 128mm (5.04") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.Note: The daily maximum UV index of 7 in August interprets into the following advice:
Inhibit overexposure. Warding off sun damage is of utmost importance. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Opt for tightly woven and loose clothing to enhance protection from the Sun.
