Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), closely mirroring the 91.4°F (33°C) of July. Little Rock records a consistent low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
