Weather in August
Temperature
August stands out as Keur Miniane's coldest month, with temperatures ranging between an average high of 33.7°C (92.7°F) and a low of 25.3°C (77.5°F).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 47°C (116.6°F). Remain alert: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Extended effort can lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
