A dip in temperature marks the arrival of August, indicating the gradual end of the monsoon season in Jimeta. The hanging clouds contribute to a decrease in the sunshine hours compared to the previous months, while the city receives the highest rainfall of the year at 159mm (6.26"). Despite the decline in daily sunshine, the city remains active and full of life. The landscape, nourished by the monsoon, displays a variety of vibrant colors, accentuating the city's beauty.

Temperature

August, marked by an average high-temperature of 30.2°C (86.4°F) and a low-temperature of 22.3°C (72.1°F), is the coldest month.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. 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 are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

UV index

The average daily maximum UV index in August in Jimeta, Nigeria, is 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: During August, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
