Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), hardly diverging from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). In August, a remarkable difference from daytime highs is noted, as Hixson records an average temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) during the night.Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
