August weather forecast
Kadugli, Sudan

August holds steady to July's weather pattern, keeping the monsoonal impact at its most prevalent. Despite a small reduction in the actual amount of rainfall, the number of rainy days actually increases, topping out for the year. The month is characterized by maximum cloud cover along with reduced visibility due to foggy conditions. Conversely, the temperature drops to a yearly low, making this the coolest month in otherwise warm Kadugli. The distinct humidity, wind condition, and cloud cover reflect the monsoon season's continued impact on the local climate.

Temperature

The coldest period is August, when temperatures fluctuate between an average high of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low of 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 37°C (98.6°F). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. The Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this period. In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
