August weather forecast
Aden, Yemen

August carries forward July's heat with temperatures remaining in the upper 30s°C. It becomes necessary to keep oneself hydrated, considering the hot days and warm nights. A slight decrease in sea temperatures signals the imminent turn of the seasons. Rainfall drifts back to its previous lows, serving as a reminder of the bygone rainy season. With the humidity remaining stable, weather shifts seems to be more gradual than abrupt.

Temperature

With the transition into August, Aden notes an average high-temperature of a still sweltering 35.3°C (95.5°F), closely resembling July. Aden records an average low-temperature of 27.5°C (81.5°F) throughout the month of August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 49°C (120.2°F). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Humidity

July and August, with an average relative humidity of 65%, are the least humid months.

Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 12 leads to the following instructions:
Employ all critical precautions. Guarding against sun damage is essential. The Sun's UV radiation is at its strongest between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Minimize direct exposure to the sun during this period. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance. Even if it's cloudy, generously apply and frequently reapply a sunscreen with no less than a 30 sun protection factor after each swim or outdoor exercise. Notice! The Sun's UV exposure elevates with sand and water reflections.
