Weather in August
Temperature
Welcoming August, Fayette notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), nearly consistent with July's 91.4°F (33°C). During August, Fayette sees a mean low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Notice: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued strenuous activity might lead to heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air 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 effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
