Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Oglesville experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still hot 86.9°F (30.5°C), closely mirroring the climate in July. During August, the nighttime temperature averages to a pleasant 68°F (20°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index may experience an enhancement of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Apply measures and align with sun safety principles. Safeguarding against skin and eye injury is pivotal. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
