The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Rising Fawn, Georgia, with an average temperature ranging between min 65.3°F (18.5°C) and max 87.3°F (30.7°C).

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), barely different from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). In stark contrast to the day's heat, the temperature dips to an average of 65.3°F (18.5°C) during August nights.

Heat index

The heat index in August is estimated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
