Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still hot 88.2°F (31.2°C) from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). In Augusta, August nights cool down to an average of 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
