Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), showing little deviation from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). During August nights, Hickory Plains witnesses a consistent average temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a numerical representation of warmth when taking temperature and moisture levels into account. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
