Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Hiwasse, Arkansas, with an average temperature varying between 68.2°F (20.1°C) and 88.9°F (31.6°C).

Temperature

Hiwasse's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C) is expected.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
