Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), hardly differing from July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). Ringgold reports an average nighttime low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) in August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. 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.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Sustain precautions and conform to sun safety norms. Preventing sunburn is necessary. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., UV radiation is strongest. Make an effort to avoid direct sunlight during this time, remembering that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
