Weather in August
An excellent water temperature of 26.3°C (79.3°F) and only 3.7 rainfall days, with 5mm (0.2") of accumulated rainfall, makes August a prime for swimming and other water activities.
Temperature
The commencement of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 32.1°C (89.8°F), marking an inconsequential divergence from July. Augusta observes an average low-temperature of 23.5°C (74.3°F) during August nights.Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 35°C (95°F). Adopt extra preventive measures, the occurrence of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is likely. Heatstroke may follow extended activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Augusta. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The UV index of 7 during August leads to these advisories:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Combat UV radiation's detrimental effects with sun-safe clothing and UV-blocking eyewear. Alert! UV radiation becomes sharper due to reflections from sand and water.
