Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Kelly, North Carolina, with an average temperature varying between 87.4°F (30.8°C) and 70.5°F (21.4°C).

Temperature

Kelly commences August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 70.5°F (21.4°C) is noted.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
