August weather forecast
Akoumape, Togo

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Akoumape, Togo, with an average temperature fluctuating between 29.3°C (84.7°F) and 22°C (71.6°F).

Temperature

August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 29.3°C (84.7°F), showing a minute difference from July's 29.2°C (84.6°F). Akoumape, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 22°C (71.6°F).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a fiery hot 36°C (96.8°F). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 83%.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a staple for defending the face, eyes, ears, and neck from the Sun.
