How warm is it in Swaziland during August?
The temperature reaches around 24℃ during the daytime in August, falling away to 11℃ at night. Remember that in August it's winter in the souther hemisphere! The UV index will be high at this time of year, so protection against skin and eye damage is needed. Try to limit exposure between 10am and 4pm. Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen every few hours, even if it's cloudy, or more frequently after sweating or swimming, and wear UV-blocking sunglasses too, and bear in mind that bright surfaces, such as sand and water increase UV exposure.
Does it rain in Swaziland during August?
On average, in August you'll see rain on just one day in the month. In other words, you shouldn't see any of the wet stuff. There's a small chance that you'll catch a thunderstorm during your trip.
Is it windy in Swaziland during August?
You're unlikely to experience any strong winds. Expect a light breeze that picks up slightly at times in August. With moderate humidity and mild air temperatures, the breeze will have a slight cooling effect.
