Weather in August
Temperature
August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), almost identical to the preceding month. August in Kings Mountain generally records an average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.
