Weather in August

August witnesses a slight dip in temperature but still offers a hot and humid scenario in Acworth. The decrement is hardly noticeable since these are still the dog days of summer. Rain continues its contribution, carrying over from the previous month, slightly aggravating the already humid conditions. Reduced daylight hours imply decreasing influence of the sun. Despite this, the humidity and summer heat have their last hurrah in this month as the climate prepares for a cool down in the subsequent period.

Temperature

The arrival of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C), closely related to the 90.1°F (32.3°C) observed in July. August in Acworth sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 69.6°F (20.9°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
