Weather in August
Temperature
August stands out as Ouidah's coldest month, with an average high-temperature of 27.4°C (81.3°F) and a low-temperature of 23.3°C (73.9°F).Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a hot 31°C (87.8°F). Long-standing exposure coupled with ongoing activity could result in exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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.
