Weather in August
Temperature
Chibombo observes a slight uplift in the average high-temperature with the onset of August, adjusting from July's moderately hot 23.3°C (73.9°F) to a still warm 27.2°C (81°F). With a notable difference from peak temperatures, an average of 13.5°C (56.3°F) marks the nights in August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at 27°C (80.6°F). With unrelenting exposure and activity, one might experience exhaustion, leading to potential heat cramps.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
