Weather in August
Temperature
In Raleigh, the months of July and August register the highest average temperatures, peaking at 91.4°F (33°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is appraised at a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.
