Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Pike City, Arkansas, with an average temperature varying between 70.7°F (21.5°C) and 92.5°F (33.6°C).

Temperature

In August, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 92.5°F (33.6°C), nearly identical to July's 92.8°F (33.8°C). A sharp contrast between day and night is prevalent in August with an average nighttime temperature of 70.7°F (21.5°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
