Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Coward, South Carolina, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.5°F (31.4°C) and 71.4°F (21.9°C).

Temperature

During August, Coward observes a subtle ascent to a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C) in the average high-temperature. An average nighttime temperature of 71.4°F (21.9°C) is observed during August.

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a scorching 105.8°F (41°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
