Weather in August
Temperature
The commencement of August notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 93°F (33.9°C), exhibiting little difference from the previous month. Yancy records a consistent low-temperature average of 71.1°F (21.7°C) during August, indicating a significant difference from the daytime heat.Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Caution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Sustained activity could lead to heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Kids frequently ignore the importance of taking a break and rehydrating. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Guard against overexposure. Protection from sun-induced harm is essential. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
