Weather in August
Temperature
Kongwe reaches its lowest average temperatures in August, measuring 27.2°C (81°F) at the peak and 23.3°C (73.9°F) at the lowest.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Exhaustion becomes probable with enduring exposure and activity, potentially causing heat cramps.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
