August weather forecast
Qasam, Yemen

August carries forward the warmth from July, indicative of steady summer patterns. The most notable change in August is a marked increase in cloud cover, rising to 16% compared to single-digit percentages in previous months. Despite being one of the hotter months, August remains slightly cooler than its predecessor, July. Slight variations in wind speed may be observed, ranging from 14.5km/h (9mph) to 20.2km/h (12.6mph) for the month. Transitioning into September, there is a slight drop in temperatures, a welcome change after the prolonged summer heat.

Temperature

The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 33.7°C (92.7°F), subtly contrasting with July's 34.4°C (93.9°F). An average temperature of 28.6°C (83.5°F) is recorded during the nights in August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 41°C (105.8°F). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down 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. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August in Qasam is 59%.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 8, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 8 to 10 represents a very high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.
Note: The daily high UV index of 8 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Take extra precautions. Fair-skinned individuals may get burned in less than 10 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
