Weather in August
Temperature
On the advent of August, Macon's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 89.6°F (32°C) from July's 91.2°F (32.9°C). Throughout August, Macon anticipates an average low-temperature of 71.8°F (22.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
