Weather in August

August represents peak summer in Awendaw, with some of the highest temperatures of the year. The daily sunshine duration decreases slightly compared to July, leading to more cloudy days. However, it still remains as one of the warmest months, ideal for outdoor activities and water sports. August comes with soaring temperatures, nearly reaching July’s maximum temperature at 88.7°F (31.5°C) and dipping at 74.5°F (23.6°C) during the night.

Temperature

The average high-temperature during August registers at a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), closely corresponding to the preceding month. Throughout the nights in August, Awendaw experiences an average low-temperature of 74.5°F (23.6°C).

Heat index

The heat index for August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is heightened, it slows the rate of evaporation, thereby decreasing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
