August weather forecast
Dabia, Mali

As August rolls in, the weather in Dabia remains largely dominated by the wet monsoon conditions. The temperatures continue their downward trend initiated in the past couple of months, bringing a welcome relief from the summer's relentless heat. The rainfall slightly drops from its peak in July, yet remains substantial, and maintains the region's saturated state. However, the trade-off for the lower temperatures is increased humidity, providing for some uncomfortable afternoons. The wind speed also tends to reduce, providing less relief from the sticky conditions.

Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself 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. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
