Weather in August

August continues with the monsoon trend in Tenkodogo but with a gradual decline in temperature from the peaks experienced earlier in the year. It's the month with the highest humidity level at 74%, and impressive rainfall of 114mm (4.49"). Compared to July, the decrease in average daylight hours and reduction in sunshine hours signals a decline in the monsoon's intensity. Despite these wet conditions, the abundance of clouds can provide a captivating backdrop for impressive meteorological phenomena.

Temperature

In Tenkodogo, August records the lowest average temperatures, peaking at 31.3°C (88.3°F) and reaching a low of 23.3°C (73.9°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a scorching 40°C (104°F). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
