Weather in August
Temperature
Dodji commences August with an average high-temperature of a still torrid 36°C (96.8°F), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout August, the average low-temperature dips to a warm 26.3°C (79.3°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
