Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather in Charlotte displays an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F, slightly varied from July's 90.7°F. Charlotte observes an average low-temperature of 68.7°F during August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 102.2°F. Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
