Weather in August
The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Egypt, Arkansas, with an average temperature ranging between max 87.6°F (30.9°C) and min 69.4°F (20.8°C).Temperature
With the start of August, Egypt measures an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.6°F (30.9°C), not significantly differing from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). During the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) is observed.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to 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.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10.6h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following instructions:
Enforce precautions and stick to sun safety measures. Preservation from skin and eye damage is essential. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
