Weather in August
Temperature
As Hurt steps into August, the average high-temperature holds at a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. In Hurt, the nighttime chill during August is a clear shift from the day's highs, with an average of 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Awareness is key; direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
