Weather in August
Temperature
August stands out as Gbagidan's coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 27.1°C (80.8°F) and a low-temperature of 23.9°C (75°F).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a tropical 30°C (86°F). Enduring exposure and unrelenting activity might cause a state of weariness, potentially leading to heat cramps.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
