Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 89.6°F (32°C), subtly different from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Throughout August, Pocahontas witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 70°F (21.1°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
