Weather in August
Temperature
As Franklinton steps into August, the average high-temperature is measured at a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), displaying minor differences from July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). Franklinton's average low-temperature is measured at a pleasant 68.9°F (20.5°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
