Weather in August
Temperature
With the advent of August, Kurfi's high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 32°C (89.6°F), closely aligning with the preceding month. Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to a warm 24.1°C (75.4°F) in August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 38°C (100.4°F). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance 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.
Perspiration and the resultant sweat evaporation are the body's natural thermostat, helping regulate temperature. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Deter overexposure. Protecting against the sun's effects is essential. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
