Entering August, Appomattox's average high-temperature reads a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate.

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
