Clarkesville observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.2°F (31.2°C) in August, barely different from 89.2°F (31.8°C) in July. Against the backdrop of high daytime temperatures, an average low-temperature of 66°F (18.9°C) is noted during August nights.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
