Weather in August
Temperature
An average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C) marks August, exhibiting a close resemblance to the conditions in July. A dramatic downturn marks the August nights, with lows averaging at a refreshing 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index in Cohutta. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A maximum high daily UV index of 6 during August translates into the following directions:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
