Weather in August
Temperature
As Atkins, Arkansas, steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), displaying minor differences from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Despite the hot August days, Atkins's nights see an average temperature plunge to an agreeable 68.9°F (20.5°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. 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 hold particular importance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
