Weather in August

August records the highest humidity and rainfall quantities for the entire year in Kandi, with the rainfall reaching 149mm (5.87"). Cloud coverage is also at its peak, often leading to overcast skies. The average daylight hours see slight reduction, which, paired with increased cloud cover and higher humidity, resultantly decreasing the temperature fluctuations. Subsequently, an overall moderation in climatic conditions occurs, giving August an often cool, wet, and relatively uniform weather pattern, marking the peak of the rainy season.

Temperature

August, with average temperatures reaching a high of 30.7°C (87.3°F) and a low of 22.4°C (72.3°F), is the coldest month.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Ensure extra safety steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Long activity might lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
