Weather in August
Temperature
The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), closely mirroring the 88.3°F (31.3°C) of July. An average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C) is noted during the nights in August in Pocahontas.Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Limit your direct sun exposure, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is strongest. Shade structures might not provide complete sun protection. Fend off the sun's harsh rays with appropriate clothing, a wide-brim hat, and UV-protective sunglasses.
