Weather in August
Temperature
Ocean Isle Beach marks the start of August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.4°F (30.2°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). Throughout August, an average nighttime temperature of 74.5°F (23.6°C) is experienced.Heat index
August's heat index is computed to be a torrid 100.4°F (38°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
