Weather in August
Temperature
Welcoming August, Dotson notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), nearly consistent with July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). During August, Dotson notes a substantial drop from the daytime peak to an average minimum temperature of 70.7°F (21.5°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Limit sun-induced ocular harm with sunglasses that feature UVA and UVB filtration.
