August weather forecast
Yirol, South Sudan

Bearing weather characteristics similar to July, August continues to find itself in the rainy season. Still, despite these consistencies, a small decrease in rainfall to 89mm (3.5") and steady 79% relative humidity regresses from July's high water mark. Although minor changes in the weather pattern show the wet season starting to abate, heavy monsoonal influence dictates the climate. The excess of water and increased cloud cover keep the temperatures in check, preventing any steep increases.

Temperature

The onset of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 31.3°C (88.3°F), nearly matching the July temperature. An average low-temperature of 21.4°C (70.5°F) is observed during August nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 42°C (107.6°F). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild 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 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
