Weather in August
Temperature
With August's arrival, Kongwa notes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 28.7°C (83.7°F), closely following the trend of the preceding month. Kongwa sees a large disparity in day to night temperatures in August, with the night temperature dropping to an average of 15.1°C (59.2°F).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a hot 30°C (86°F). Continuous activity in exposure could lead to a feeling of fatigue and heat cramps.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. 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.
