Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Davidson, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 67.5°F (19.7°C) and 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), a near match to July's 90.3°F (32.4°C). Davidson's August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is appraised at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
