Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, the average high-temperature stands at a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), closely aligned with July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Wrightsville records a steady low-temperature average of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during August.Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not comprehend the need for rest and hydration. Thirst is an advanced stage of dehydration - staying hydrated, especially during extended physical exercises, is essential.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
