Weather in August
Temperature
As Franklinton steps into August, the average high-temperature holds at a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. Throughout August, Franklinton's nights cool down to an average of 73.8°F (23.2°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is appraised at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: A typical high UV index of 7 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. Limit direct sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the time of the most intense UV radiation, noting that shade structures may not provide total sun protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
