Weather in August

The sweltering heat starts to mildly taper during August in Conway, though humidity remains relatively high. The daily sunshine, coupled with high temperatures, results in many warm and dry days, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. There's a slight decrease in rainfall, however, enough to warrant the occasional umbrella. Most notably, a slight dip in the highest average temperature occurs, moving down to 90.9°F (32.7°C) from July's peak of 91.9°F (33.3°C). We can sense a subtle cool in the mornings and nights, giving hints of the incoming fall.

Temperature

Conway's August reports an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), exhibiting a minor difference from July. Throughout the month of August, Conway reports a steady low-temperature average of 70°F (21.1°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The experience of temperature can be subjective, varying based on the individual's activity and heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
