Weather in August
Temperature
In moving from July to August, Akam's high-temperature average of a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F) remains consistent with the preceding month. Throughout August, Akam anticipates an average low-temperature of 19.8°C (67.6°F).Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
