August weather forecast
Korgom, Niger

August continues the monsoon season in Korgom, albeit with a lower intensity than the overly wet July. Rainfall is still substantial, but the frequency and volume have decreased, providing visitors with a softer version of the wet season. A gradual decrease in temperature along with increasing atmospheric pressure begins to signal the end of the monsoon season. Apart from the noticeable weather dynamics, August carries forward the monsoon imprint resulting in a cooler and drier September.

Temperature

Korgom, Niger, marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a tropical 34°C (93.2°F), subtly divergent from July's 36.4°C (97.5°F). An average low-temperature of 26.4°C (79.5°F) is recorded during the nights in August in Korgom.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 39°C (102.2°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

UV index

In Korgom, Niger, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.
Note: A maximum UV index of 7 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
