Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). During August nights, Kernersville witnesses a consistent average temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. When the level of relative humidity is elevated, evaporation diminishes, causing more warmth to be retained in the body than in dry air. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
