Weather in August
Temperature
Kiru's weather in August, with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 32.1°C (89.8°F), subtly shifts from July's 34.6°C (94.3°F). In August, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
Humidity

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 8.5h.UV index
In Kiru, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: During August, 7 as the daily maximum UV index converts into the following advice:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
