Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Jenkins, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 72°F (22.2°C) and 91.6°F (33.1°C).

Temperature

The advent of August signifies a minor shift to an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C), aligning closely with July. Jenkins, in the month of August, anticipates a consistent average low-temperature of 72°F (22.2°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Using UVA and UVB-protective sunglasses and sun-protective clothing is effective against UV radiation.
