Weather in August
Temperature
The beginning of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C), showing minimal deviation from the previous month. In Meigs, August nights cool down to an average of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Observe: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke is on the horizon with prolonged exertion.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

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