Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Piedmont, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 65.8°F (18.8°C) and 87.8°F (31°C).

Temperature

The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. During August, Piedmont's temperature records a considerable difference from its daily highs to an average low of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.

Conform to measures and uphold sun safety traditions. Warding off skin and eye harm is necessary. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
