Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Doura, Guinea, with an average temperature fluctuating between 21.7°C (71.1°F) and 29.1°C (84.4°F).

Temperature

August, with its high-temperature average of 29.1°C (84.4°F) and a low-temperature average of 21.7°C (71.1°F), is the coldest month.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a sweltering 36°C (96.8°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.

Humidity

The most humid month in Doura is August, with an average relative humidity of 85%.

Rainfall

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 25.3 days and typically aggregates up to 182mm (7.17") of precipitation.

Sunshine

August has the least sunshine of the year, with an average of 6.8h of sunshine.

UV index

July, August and December, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: In August, a regular UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Stay out of direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
