Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Needham, Georgia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 74.1°F (23.4°C) and 90.5°F (32.5°C).

Temperature

Needham marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), a subtle shift from July's 91°F (32.8°C). In the month of August, an average of 74.1°F (23.4°C) marks the low-temperature in Needham.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids frequently fail to realize the necessity for resting and hydrating. Thirst is an advanced indication of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, especially during extended physical activities, becomes essential.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
