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

Aden's weather in August, with an average high-temperature of a still torrid 35.3°C (95.5°F), subtly shifts from July's 35.9°C (96.6°F). During August, Aden records a consistent average nighttime temperature of 27.5°C (81.5°F).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 49°C (120.2°F). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.

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:
Carry out all vital precautions. Protection from sun exposure is a must. Seek shade and minimize exposure to direct Sun in a period between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when UV radiation is most intense; keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not provide perfect sun protection. Always opt for UVA and UVB-resistant sunglasses on radiant days. Even on cloudy days, a sunscreen with a minimum 30 sun protection factor should be generously applied and frequently re-applied, including after every swim or outdoor exercise. Watch out! Sand and water enhance the UV exposure you receive.
