August, the last month of the summer in Aikenton, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 90.1°F (32.3°C) and an average low of 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Temperature

August's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. During August, the temperature in Aikenton tends to dip to an average of 70.3°F (21.3°C) at night.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Avert overexposure. Light-skinned people might experience burning 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. To mitigate harm from sun exposure, pick sunglasses offering UVA and UVB defense.
