Weather in August
Temperature
In Yelwa, the lowest temperatures are generally noted in August, averaging a high of 30.3°C (86.5°F) and a low of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
Humidity
With an average relative humidity of 79%, August is the most humid month.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 22.3 days and accumulates 148mm (5.83") of precipitation.Daylight

Sunshine

January, June through September, November and December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
