August, the last month of the summer in George, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.9°F (30.5°C) and an average low of 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Temperature

The advent of August presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C), maintaining a close correlation with the preceding month. Throughout August nights, George registers an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is estimated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
