Weather in August
Temperature
In Gouraye, the lowest average temperatures are observed in August, with a high of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a low of 24.8°C (76.6°F).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 46°C (114.8°F). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
