Kosti,
Sudan still offers luminous days, though slightly cloudier than the preceding months. The temperatures exhibit a dip, creating an overall cooler atmosphere. Despite the reduction in heat, it still provides its fair share of sun-filled hours. Nights turn out to be comfortably cooler, ideal for indulging in nocturnal activities or simply strolling around the city.
Temperature
July signifies a gentle decline in Kosti's average high-temperature, easing from a very hot 38.6°C (101.5°F) in
June to a tropical 33.7°C (92.7°F). In July, the nighttime temperature lowers to an average of 23.6°C (74.5°F).
Heat index
July's average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 43°C (109.4°F).
Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
