Weather in August

August's beginning signals an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), barely different from July's 90.5°F (32.5°C). Charlotte experiences an average low-temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C) in the month of August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
