Weather in August
Temperature
At the onset of August, Simisi records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.1°C (82.6°F), showing little deviation from the preceding month. August generally records an average low-temperature of 16.3°C (61.3°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
