Weather in August
Temperature
Welcoming August, Piedmont notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.9°F (30.5°C), nearly consistent with July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). Piedmont records an average nighttime low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) throughout August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. Limit direct sun exposure especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. However, keep in mind that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
