Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Donegal, Georgia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.9°F (31.6°C) and 72.9°F (22.7°C).

Temperature

Welcoming August, Donegal notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), nearly consistent with July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 72.9°F (22.7°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Note: The daily high UV index of 6 during August translates into the following recommendations:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 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. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
