Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Akoli, Nigeria, with an average temperature varying between 28.6°C (83.5°F) and 22.3°C (72.1°F).

Temperature

Entering August, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still warm 28.6°C (83.5°F), exhibiting a minimal shift from July's 28.4°C (83.1°F). Akoli experiences a nighttime temperature average of 22.3°C (72.1°F) during August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 hold great significance to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

In August, the average relative humidity is 86%.
