August weather forecast
Mpoti, Togo

In August, the temperature holds steady in comparison to July, though humidity slightly recedes. Significantly rainy, with 126mm (4.96") of precipitation spread throughout the month, the weather remains largely consistent with the previous month. The winds could hardly be more docile, barely exceeding a light breeze. The percentage of cloud coverage reaches its maximum, offering relief from sunlight. Despite the high rainfall, it is well distributed over the month, hence rarely causing disruptions.

Temperature

August, known for its average high temperature of 28.8°C (83.8°F) and an average low temperature of 20.9°C (69.6°F), is the coldest month.

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a sweltering 35°C (95°F). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. is when UV radiation is at its peak. Limit exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
