Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Newton, Georgia, with an average temperature fluctuating between 90°F (32.2°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

Newton's shift into August is marked by a subtle change to a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C) from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C) in temperature. August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely to occur. Prolonged exertion can lead to heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
