August, the last month of the summer in Russellville, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 72.7°F (22.6°C) and 89.2°F (31.8°C).

Temperature

The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). In August, Russellville records an average nighttime temperature of 72.7°F (22.6°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Temperature imbalances caused by excessive heat retention can trigger heat-related maladies.
