August weather forecast
Bankilare, Niger

August presents the highest recorded humidity of 49% and the most rainfall days at 12, making it the wettest month in Bankilare. There is a continued reduction in both the average highest and lowest temperature compared to the previous month. A drop-off is also witnessed in the total sunshine hours when compared to the previous few months. Nonetheless, Bankilare's intrinsic beauty continues to shine, making it a worthy visit year-round.

Temperature

Bankilare experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.8°C (96.4°F) in August, closely aligned with July's 37.3°C (99.1°F). Nighttime temperatures consistently average a moderately hot 27.8°C (82°F) during August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a scorching 42°C (107.6°F). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Greater relative humidity lessens the rate of evaporation, thus decreasing the body's heat dispersal, which gives rise to a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Take all necessary measures. Eyes and skin are at risk if left unprotected. Limit your exposure to the sun's UV radiation, which is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and note that parasols or canopies may not provide full sun protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
