Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 82.9°F (28.3°C), hardly differing from July's 83.7°F (28.7°C). Pisgah Forest reports a consistent average low-temperature of 62.1°F (16.7°C) throughout August nights.Heat index
August's average heat index is appraised at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). If one continues to be active during exposure, it might cause tiredness and subsequent heat cramps.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
