Weather in August
Temperature
With the arrival of August, Benton's average high-temperature registers at a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), indicating a subtle variation from the previous month. Benton's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to a moderately hot 74.7°F (23.7°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
