Weather in August
Temperature
Flatwoods notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 93.7°F (34.3°C) in August, displaying minor variation from July. An average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is observed during the August nights.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
