August weather forecast
Hombori, Mali

By the time August arrives, the cooling trend continues in Hombori, Mali. August is notable for its highest rainfall of 72mm (2.83"), indicating the peak of wet season. The cloud cover increases significantly in comparison to the previous months. Despite decreased daylight hours, there is still ample sunlight. Though humidity is at its peak, the relatively cooler temperatures make the weather bearable.

Temperature

As August takes its course, Hombori's average high-temperature registers at a still very hot 36.4°C (97.5°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 28.6°C (83.5°F) is observed during August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

Ensure you're protected; unprotected eyes and skin can get hurt in moments. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
