Temperature

Mangoufou marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), subtly divergent from July's 31.4°C (88.5°F). Throughout August, Mangoufou witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

UV index

March, April, August and September, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A daily maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following instructions:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
