Weather in August
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still warm 27.6°C (81.7°F), subtly contrasting with July's 25.8°C (78.4°F). Praia's August nights observe a minor shift from the daytime temperatures, resulting in an average dip to a still moderately hot 25.1°C (77.2°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Staying active during long-term exposure might result in a state of exhaustion and cause heat cramps.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
