Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C), showing minor variations from the previous month. During August, Benton sees a mean low-temperature of 70.7°F (21.5°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
