Paradoxically, the wet weather creates a serene ambiance, rendering the city's panoramas especially picturesque.
Temperature
In Siguiri, August records the lowest average temperatures, peaking at 31.8°C (89.2°F) and reaching a low of 18.9°C (66°F).
Heat index
August's heat index is appraised at a blistering 44°C (111.2°F).
Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.
In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. 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 primarily vital for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
