Weather in August
Temperature
The high-temperature average in August for Shannon, Georgia, is a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C), staying closely aligned with July's conditions. In August, Shannon experiences an average nighttime temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The maximum UV index of 6 during August leads to these instructions:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Remember that UV radiation from the Sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Make an effort to limit direct sun exposure during this time. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
