Weather in August
Temperature
Nags Head's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), nearly consistent with the 82.2°F (27.9°C) of July. Night temperatures during August stabilize at an average of 76.5°F (24.7°C), closely mirroring the daytime temperatures.Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
