Temperature

August records an average high-temperature of a still warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), indicating a minor variation from the preceding month. Slagle's average low-temperature of 60.6°F (15.9°C) in August reflects a significant disparity from the daytime highs.

Heat index

August's average heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
