Weather in August

With the advent of August, Augusta's high-temperatures adjust to a still warm 82.9°F (28.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. In Augusta, an average nighttime temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C) is expected during August.Heat index
August's average heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one sustains activity during exposure, it could lead to a sense of fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
