Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still warm 84°F (28.9°C), closely following the temperature pattern of July. Freetown records an average nighttime low-temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C) throughout August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical 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.
