Weather in August
Temperature
Shifting into August, Parktown records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), presenting minor fluctuations compared to the previous month. During the August nights, an average temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C) is observed in Parktown, North Carolina.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 100.4°F (38°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
