August weather forecast
Mayoko, Congo

August marks lengthier sunlit hours to about 12h per day and a slight decrease in wind speed. However, the significant tweak in August's weather lies in the upsurge in rainfall to 89mm (3.5"), a moderate yet noteworthy climb from July's 52mm (2.05"). While sustaining diverse tropical rainforest elements such as consistent temperatures and a significant degree of humidity, Mayoko in August tilts back slightly towards enhanced rainfall, although still less than the amounts observed earlier in the year.

In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
