Weather in August
Temperature
Americus starts August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), a minor shift from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). The average low-temperature during August nights is a pleasant 72.5°F (22.5°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 9.2h.UV index
In Americus, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum daily UV index, 6 in August, converts into the following recommendations:
Shun overexposure. Protection from sun ravages is indispensable. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
