Weather in August
Temperature
August, recording an average high temperature of 93.9°F (34.4°C) and a low temperature of 72.5°F (22.5°C), is Calhoun's warmest month.Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a burning hot 120.2°F (49°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Children often do not understand the need to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - therefore, it is essential to stay hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

Undertake protective measures and comply with sun safety rules. Shielding against skin and eye damage is essential. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
