Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Edwards Fork, North Carolina, with an average temperature varying between 86.4°F (30.2°C) and 69.1°F (20.6°C).

Temperature

August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), marking an insignificant difference from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). In August, Edwards Fork records an average nighttime temperature of 69.1°F (20.6°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index's context suggests values are appropriate for shady areas and slight breezes. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. 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. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
