August, the last month of the summer in Fanning, is another hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.4°F (33°C) and 73.2°F (22.9°C).

Temperature

August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), subtly differing from July's 91.8°F (33.2°C). Fanning experiences a mean low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C) during August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Safeguard your eyes, ears, and face from sun rays with the aid of a wide-brim hat.
