Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Edison, Georgia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 90.1°F (32.3°C) and 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Temperature

August's average high-temperature stands at a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), showing little deviation from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). The nights of August anticipate an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is estimated at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential.
