Weather in August
Temperature
Makwa reaches its lowest average temperatures in August, measuring 33°C (91.4°F) at the peak and 25°C (77°F) at the lowest.Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a blistering 41°C (105.8°F). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. 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 'real feel', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 63%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 13.8 days and accumulates 91mm (3.58") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine
August has the least sunshine of the year, with an average of 8.6h of sunshine.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The average daily UV index of 7 in August transforms into the following instructions:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days.
