Weather in August
Temperature
Upon the onset of August, Gantt witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), showing a close resemblance to the prior month. Throughout August, the temperature falls to an average low of 67.3°F (19.6°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Preventive measures are required to mitigate the risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Continuous activity may precipitate heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
Humidity
In Gantt, the average relative humidity in August is 71%.Rainfall
In Gantt, during August, the rain falls for 17.3 days and regularly aggregates up to 3.27" (83mm) of precipitation. Throughout the year, there are 163.5 rainfall days, and 35.47" (901mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall
April through October are months without snowfall.Daylight
In August, the average length of the day is 13h and 25min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:40 am and sunset at 8:31 pm. On the last day of August, in Gantt, sunrise is at 7:02 am and sunset at 7:57 pm EDT.
Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.4h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: A typical high UV index of 6 in August suggests the following recommendations:
Steer clear of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can be scorched in less than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
