Weather in August
Temperature
Mount Olive experiences an average high-temperature of a still hot 90°F (32.2°C) in August, marking an insignificant shift from 90.9°F (32.7°C) in July. During August, the average low-temperature is recorded at a pleasant 70.5°F (21.4°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is an indicator that blends the effects of temperature and humidity to depict perceived warmth. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. 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 human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
