Weather in August
Temperature
The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C) from July's 91°F (32.8°C) in the average high-temperature. During the month of August, an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) is recorded in Gaston.Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
