Weather in August

Despite a slight dip in maximum temperatures compared to July, August continues the reign of high summer heat in Pineville. The slight decrease in temperature does not upset the summer pattern. A marginally higher average rainfall, measuring about 3.62" (92mm), is recorded significantly contributing to the humid environment. As the prime summer atmosphere prevails, daylight hours gradually shorten from those in July, signaling an approaching end to summer, while the ample sunlight radiates generously on most days.

Temperature

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
