Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.8°F (32.1°C), exhibiting minor difference from the previous month. Alston anticipates an average minimum temperature of 73°F (22.8°C) in the month of August.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
