Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Akalu's average high-temperature clocks in at a still moderately hot 27.3°C (81.1°F), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. Akalu, in August, experiences an average temperature of 16.7°C (62.1°F) at night.Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Exposure and extended activity could potentially cause a state of fatigue and lead to heat cramps.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. 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.
