The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Morven, North Carolina, with temperature in the range of an average low of 70°F (21.1°C) and an average high of 89.1°F (31.7°C).

Temperature

Morven experiences a transition to a still hot 89.1°F (31.7°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of August, not greatly differing from July's 91°F (32.8°C). Morven anticipates an average minimum temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) in the month of August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is estimated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. 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 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
