Weather in August
Temperature
Gastonburg experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C) in August, closely aligned with July's 93.2°F (34°C). Gastonburg experiences a mean temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) during August nights.Heat index
The heat index in August is calculated to be a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to 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.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
