Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Bon Ami, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 93.6°F (34.2°C) and 73.8°F (23.2°C).

Temperature

The months of July and August are noted for their peak temperatures, with an average high-temperature of 93.6°F (34.2°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 122°F (50°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.

Seek shade and limit direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but be aware that not all shade structures provide complete sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
