Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Cary, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 72.3°F (22.4°C) and max 90.5°F (32.5°C).

Cary marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), a subtle shift from July's 91°F (32.8°C). The low-temperature average for Cary during August stands at a pleasant 72.3°F (22.4°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke can follow with prolonged activity.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. You should know that direct sun exposure can heighten weather effects, potentially elevating the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. 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. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
