Weather in August
Temperature
August's presence records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Rocky Mount observes an average nighttime temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index in August is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
