August weather forecast
Kindamba, Congo

As Kindamba goes into August, humidity decreases to 59%, the lowest throughout the year. Subtle climatic changes are apparent with the arrival of rain accumulation to 4mm (0.16") over 4.2 days. However, this is virtually negligible and does not detract from the predominantly dry and sunny character of Kindamba's August. Slight increases in wind speeds and cloud cover percentages herald the impending rains. Stronger winds sweeping over the region, coupled with increased cloud percentages, signal the beginning of the transition from the dry to the wet season.

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.3°C (90.1°F), nearly identical to July's 31.3°C (88.3°F). The average low-temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F) is witnessed during August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 37°C (98.6°F). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
