Weather in August
Temperature
Ethel, Arkansas, marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.7°F (31.5°C), subtly divergent from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). An average low-temperature of 71.4°F (21.9°C) is noted in Ethel during the month of August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
