August, the last month of the summer in Earles, is another warm month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 85.6°F (29.8°C) and an average low of 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Temperature

The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Earles temperatures generally rest at a low of 66.6°F (19.2°C) during the August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. 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.
