Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Pineville, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 84.7°F (29.3°C) and min 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Temperature

Pineville records an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). Despite a significant deviation from daily highs, August sees an average nighttime temperature of 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.
