Weather in August

August in Tahoua retains the wet, hot weather pattern established in July. In effect, a significant dip in sunshine hours is recorded alongside a steady climb in relative humidity. However, the UV index slackens to 8, signaling a slight relief from the intense solar radiation. The 78mm (3.07") of rainfall observed this month marks the annual maximum, resulting in the highest count of rain days at 15.3. This month bears the brunt of the wet season, with an intense mix of heat and moisture in the air.

Temperature

August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still very hot 35°C (95°F) from July's 36.9°C (98.4°F). Throughout August, Tahoua experiences a low-temperature average of 27.4°C (81.3°F).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 40°C (104°F). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
