Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August in Mount Airy is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.2°F (27.9°C), not significantly different from the 85.1°F (29.5°C) of July. An average minimum temperature of 64.6°F (18.1°C) is recorded during the month of August.Heat index
The heat index in August is appraised at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). With prolonged exposure and constant activity, one might feel exhausted and experience heat cramps.Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
