Georgetown, FL

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Georgetown, Florida, with an average temperature fluctuating between 75°F (23.9°C) and 91.8°F (33.2°C).

Temperature

August, having an average high-temperature of 91.8°F (33.2°C) and an average low-temperature of 75°F (23.9°C), is the warmest month.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

Humidity

The months with the highest humidity are August and September, with an average relative humidity of 78%.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 7 suggests these recommendations:
Take precautions against overexposure. Fair-skinned people may get burned in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
