Weather in August
Temperature
Kampene observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between July's 33.9°C (93°F) and August's 33.3°C (91.9°F). Against the high August temperatures, Kampene records an average drop to an agreeable 20.9°C (69.6°F) at night.Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a blistering 43°C (109.4°F). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

June through August, 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 exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
