Weather in August
Temperature
Kennebec, North Carolina, in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Kennebec in August anticipates an average nighttime temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
