Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Jefferson, Georgia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 68.2°F (20.1°C) and 88.7°F (31.5°C).

Temperature

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 particularly important for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
