August weather forecast
Tessaoua, Niger

Although the high temperature in August slightly decreases from July, it remains a warm month in Tessaoua. The city experiences its highest number of rainy days during this period, contributing to increased cloud coverage. The average wind speed drops marginally from July, while the UV index falls slightly yet the visibility remains largely unrestricted. Despite the highest rainfall in August, the city's pressure remains the highest compared to the preceding months. The dip in sunshine days makes August the cloudiest month of the year in Tessaoua.

Temperature

The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still tropical 32°C (89.6°F), differing minimally from July's 34.4°C (93.9°F). During the month of August, the temperature generally drops to a low average of 24.1°C (75.4°F).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 38°C (100.4°F). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Humidity

The most humid month is August, with an average relative humidity of 64%.

Rainfall

August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 17.8 days and accumulates 119mm (4.69") of precipitation.

UV index

In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 7. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for average individuals.
Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 7 during August translates into the following directions:
Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. To best shield against UV radiation, choose sun-safe garments and dependable sunglasses.
