Temperature

Transitioning from July to August, Dalton observes an average high-temperature of a still warm 81°F (27.2°C), differing subtly from the previous month. Dalton observes an average low-temperature of 60.4°F (15.8°C) during August.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is evaluated at a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and activity are sustained, they might cause a feeling of weariness, resulting in heat cramps.
Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
