Weather in August
Temperature
The dawn of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), subtly contrasting with July's 89.4°F (31.9°C). Wake Forest, in August, experiences an average temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C) at night.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

The month with the most rainfall is August, when the rain falls for 16.4 days and typically aggregates up to 3.54" (90mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

Sunshine
In August, the average sunshine is 10h.UV index
The average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in August translates into this advice:
Use measures and accept sun safety conventions. Guarding against skin and eye trauma is of high priority. Avoid exposure to the Sun and try to stay in the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent, but be aware that parasols or canopies may not offer full protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
