Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August finds Hickory Plains at an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), closely comparable to July's conditions. During the month of August, Hickory Plains anticipates a mean low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
