Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.4°C (90.3°F), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. During August, Mkapuwanzee records an average temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F) at night.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
