Weather in August
Temperature
The initiation of August records an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.6°F (28.1°C), displaying a near consistency with the previous month. Biltmore Forest, after an intense day, registers a significant cooling to an average low-temperature of 60.3°F (15.7°C) throughout August.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a hot 89.6°F (32°C). If one endures exposure and continues to be active, it might result in tiredness and heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
