Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Gantt, is another hot month, with an average temperature varying between 73°F (22.8°C) and 90.7°F (32.6°C).

Temperature

The beginning of August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), marking a negligible difference from July's 91.4°F (33°C). An average temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) is recorded in Gantt during the nights in August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Be on the lookout: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Continued exertion can result in heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
