Weather in August

August replicates July's heat and humidity, often with a slight decline in average temperatures from the previous month's high of 90.5°F (32.5°C) to 89.6°F (32°C). August predictably comes with a cloud cover increase from July’s 30% to 34% and a little extra rainfall, hitting an annual record of 2.8in. Come late August, the city starts to say goodbye to the brutally hot summer days, making a transition towards the milder months.

Temperature

Entering August, Claxton's average high-temperature reads a still tropical 89.6°F (32°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. Claxton usually reports an average low-temperature of 73.2°F (22.9°C) during the month of August.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. 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 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
