Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Contrasting the daytime warmth, Forsyth's August nights cool down to an average of 66.2°F (19°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Excessive relative humidity disturbs the body's typical cooling process by reducing evaporation, leading to a decrease in body cooling rate and an increase in the sensation of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
