Weather in August
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in August, with averages reaching a high of 32.4°C (90.3°F) and a low of 19.8°C (67.6°F).Heat index
The heat index for August is appraised at a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 59%, August is the least humid month.Rainfall
In Kimpese, during August, the rain falls for 4.1 days and regularly aggregates up to 4mm (0.16") of precipitation. In Kimpese, during the entire year, the rain falls for 233.4 days and collects up to 1301mm (51.22") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
With an average of 9.5h of sunshine, August has the most sunshine of the year.UV index
The months with the lowest UV index in Kimpese are January through August, October through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in August translates into this advice:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
