Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), subtly different from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Gantt, in August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 73°F (22.8°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Take caution: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may be imminent with ongoing effort.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. 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 76%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 16.2 days and accumulates 1.65" (42mm) of precipitation.Snowfall
In Gantt, snow does not fall in March through November.Daylight
In Gantt, the average length of the day in August is 13h and 16min.On the first day of August, sunrise is at 6:02 am and sunset at 7:41 pm. On the last day of the month, sunrise is at 6:21 am and sunset at 7:10 pm CDT.
Sunshine
In Gantt, the average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in August translates into this advice:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is at its strongest, and remember that parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Protect your eyes, ears, face, and neck from the Sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat.
