Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 27.8°C (82°F) from July's 27.3°C (81.1°F). Mikindani anticipates an average minimum temperature of 21.2°C (70.2°F) in the month of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a tropical 31°C (87.8°F). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
