Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August is a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), almost matching the conditions of the preceding month. Gantt witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 67.3°F (19.6°C) throughout August.Heat index
The heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 71%.Rainfall
In Gantt, during August, the rain falls for 17.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 3.27" (83mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, in Gantt, there are 163.5 rainfall days, and 35.47" (901mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine in Gantt is 10.4h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index in Gantt are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The UV index of 6 in August translates into these instructions:
Adopt measures and apply sun safety strategies. Shielding from skin and eye damage is necessary. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Stay sun-safe with clothing that is both closely woven and worn loosely.
