Minga, Congo

August, the last month of the winter in Minga, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 32.1°C (89.8°F) and 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August sees a recorded average high-temperature of a still hot 32.1°C (89.8°F), showing little divergence from the previous month's conditions. During the month of August, Minga anticipates a mean low-temperature of 20.8°C (69.4°F).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is evaluated at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 63%, August is the least humid month.

Rainfall

In Minga, during August, the rain falls for 4 days and regularly aggregates up to 3mm (0.12") of precipitation. In Minga, during the entire year, the rain falls for 228.5 days and collects up to 1086mm (42.76") of precipitation.

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 of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.
Note: A daily high UV index of 7 in August leads to these guidelines:
Elude overexposure. Fair-skinned people could get burnt in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. During bright days, sunglasses that offer UVA and UVB defense are recommended.
