Weather in August
Temperature
The shift from July to August is characterized by an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.2°F (31.2°C), not significantly different from the 90.1°F (32.3°C) of July. In Southern Pines, an average temperature of 70.2°F (21.2°C) is noted during August nights.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
