Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August records an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.1°F (29.5°C), subtly varied from July's 86.7°F (30.4°C). A sharp reduction from the daytime highs is witnessed in Rutherford College during August, with nighttime temperatures averaging a low of 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', binds temperature metrics with humidity values to give a sense of the actual warmth. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
