Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.9°F (27.7°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. In Carteret, the average temperature during the nights of August drops to a pleasant 68.4°F (20.2°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a hot 86°F (30°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. 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 'real feel', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
