Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Podor's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still sweltering 37.5°C (99.5°F) from July's 38.9°C (102°F). Podor's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 27.6°C (81.7°F).

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 48°C (118.4°F). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. 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 hold particular significance for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.
