Weather in August
Temperature
Bunkure's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F) from July's 34.6°C (94.3°F) in temperature. Throughout the August nights, Bunkure encounters a low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
Humidity
August is the most humid month, with an average relative humidity of 68%.Rainfall
The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 18.9 days and typically aggregates up to 123mm (4.84") of precipitation.Daylight
In August, the average length of the day is 12h and 30min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 06:13 and sunset at 18:51. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 06:15 and sunset at 18:36 WAT.
Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 8.5h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A maximum daily UV index of 7 during August morphs into the following directions:
Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
