Weather in August
Temperature
August reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), slightly varied from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). August nights in Druid Hills observe an average temperature dip to an enjoyable 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
