Mbié, Gabon

August, the last month of the winter in Mbié, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 21.5°C (70.7°F) and 31.7°C (89.1°F).

Temperature

The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.7°C (89.1°F), almost echoing the conditions of the previous month. Mbié observes an average low-temperature of 21.5°C (70.7°F) during August.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire 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 babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Persist in precautions and follow sun safety policies. Keeping sunburn at bay is imperative. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
