Weather in August
Temperature
Pocahontas signifies an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C) in August, closely mirroring the 89.2°F (31.8°C) of July. Throughout August, a steady low-temperature average of 69.1°F (20.6°C) is noted.Heat index
The heat index value during August is calculated to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
