Weather in August
Temperature
Columbia's weather in August displays an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), showing minor disparity from July's 86°F (30°C). Nighttime temperatures in August average to a refreshing 64.9°F (18.3°C).Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
