Weather in August
Temperature
Fort Gaines's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), nearly identical to the prior month. August's average low-temperature reading settles at an agreeable 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Be wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are highly anticipated. With continued activity, heatstroke is very likely.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
