Weather in August

August, the last month of the winter in Nyangwe, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 33.3°C (91.9°F) and 20.9°C (69.6°F).

Temperature

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still hot 33.3°C (91.9°F) from July's 33.9°C (93°F). The anticipated average low-temperature for August, an agreeable 20.9°C (69.6°F), shows a substantial deviation from the daytime maximums.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 43°C (109.4°F). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
