Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Fayetteville, is another hot month, with temperature in the range of an average low of 70°F (21.1°C) and an average high of 88.9°F (31.6°C).

Temperature

The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), not significantly different from the 90.1°F (32.3°C) of July. August sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 70°F (21.1°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', reflects the feeling of heat when considering both air temperature and humidity. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
