August weather forecast
Nsang, Equatorial Guinea

In a similar vein to July, the month of August in Nsang, Equatorial Guinea witnesses marginal changes in weather conditions, exemplified by a subtle decrease in rainfall to about 118mm (4.65") across 27.8 days. While the cloud cover remains dense, the slight decline in precipitation signals a reduction in the wet season's intensity. Standard temperature and humidity levels persist, providing a consistent weather pattern suitable for the tropical region.

Temperature

In moving from July to August, Nsang's high-temperature average of a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F) remains consistent with the preceding month. Nsang reports a consistent average low-temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F) throughout August nights.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
