Weather in August
Temperature
As Rutledge steps into August, the average high-temperature holds at a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Rutledge experiences an average nighttime temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) in the month of August.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Incorporate special precautions, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is substantial. Sustained activity could cause heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
