The sweltering heat starts to mildly taper during August in Conway, though humidity remains relatively high. The daily sunshine, coupled with high temperatures, results in many warm and dry days, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. There's a slight decrease in rainfall, however, enough to warrant the occasional umbrella. Most notably, a slight dip in the highest average temperature occurs, moving down to 90.9°F (32.7°C) from July's peak of 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Heed: Expect heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continued action may cause heatstroke.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
