Weather in August
Temperature
Dongola's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). August nights are marked by an average temperature drop to an enjoyable 66.7°F (19.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: A maximum high UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Dodge overexposure. Fair-skinned people can get singed in less than 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. A wide-brimmed hat is a shield, deflecting up to 50% of harmful UV radiation from eyes.
