Weather in August
Temperature
As July turns into August, the average high-temperatures rest at a still hot 30.1°C (86.2°F), showing a minor variation from the prior month. Tshela's average low-temperature during August nights is observed to be a comfortable 19.7°C (67.5°F).Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

The least humid month is August, with an average relative humidity of 70%.Rainfall
In Tshela, during August, the rain falls for 5.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 4mm (0.16") of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 247.1 rainfall days, and 1446mm (56.93") of precipitation is accumulated.Daylight

Sunshine

January through March, May through December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. 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. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
