Weather in August
Temperature
August records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.8°C (83.8°F), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. In August, Buna records an average nighttime temperature of 20.5°C (68.9°F).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a tropical 34°C (93.2°F). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
