The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Barton, Arkansas, with an average temperature varying between 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 70.9°F (21.6°C).

Temperature

The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), hardly differing from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). An average low-temperature of 70.9°F (21.6°C) is observed during August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Heat index values may surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the presence of direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
