Weather in August
Temperature
August's climate shows a minor adjustment in average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 84.4°F (29.1°C) from July's 84.9°F (29.4°C). During August, Morganton records an average temperature of 63.7°F (17.6°C) at night.Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values may be hiked up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
