Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Rutledge, is another tropical month, with an average temperature ranging between max 89.2°F (31.8°C) and min 69.8°F (21°C).

Temperature

August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). Rutledge experiences an average nighttime temperature of 69.8°F (21°C) in the month of August.

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
