August weather forecast
Al Qadarif, Sudan

August carries forward the monsoon inheritance from July, dominating Al Qadarif's climatic narrative for the month. This month brings forward substantial rainfall and relatively high humid conditions, providing a cooler escape from the unforgiving desert heat. The rains intensify in August, with peak rainfall amounting to 133mm (5.24"). Despite the monsoon's influence, clear days and perfect visibility provide unspoiled views of the city's richness. The relatively lower temperatures, in combination with the existing conditions, offer a unique perspective to explore Al Qadarif.

Temperature

Al Qadarif's coldest month, August, registers temperatures that range from a high of 31.6°C (88.9°F) to a low of 23.4°C (74.1°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 38°C (100.4°F). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes.

For a sun-safe wardrobe, go for clothes that are tightly woven and generously sized.
