Weather in August
Temperature
The unfolding of August shows an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), indicating a slight variance from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). During the nights in August, Braswells Crossroads observes an average low-temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C).Heat index
August's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
