August, the last month of the summer in Faison, is also a hot month, with an average temperature varying between 70.3°F (21.3°C) and 86.7°F (30.4°C).

Temperature

The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), subtly shifted from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). During August nights, Faison witnesses a consistent average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
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. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
