August weather forecastKadugli, Sudan

Weather in August

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

August, characterized by an average high temperature of 29.8°C (85.6°F) and a low temperature of 22°C (71.6°F), is generally the coldest month.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 37°C (98.6°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. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

With an average relative humidity of 78%, August is the most humid month.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 25.4 days and accumulates 181mm (7.13") of precipitation.

Daylight

The average length of the day in August is 12h and 29min.
On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 05:49 and sunset at 18:25. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 05:51 and sunset at 18:11 CAT.

Sunshine

The month with the least sunshine is August, with an average of 7.5h of sunshine.

UV index

July and August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the lowest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the average person.
Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August translates into these guidelines:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
