Weather in August
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Powder Springs's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). August is characterized by a distinct thermal shift, with nighttime lows averaging at an enjoyable 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
