Weather in August
Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), showing little difference from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). An average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) is noted during the nights in August in Dawkins, South Carolina.Heat index
August's mean heat index is computed to be a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. The influence of weather can be personal, changing with an individual's body mass, height, and level of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. 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.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August in Dawkins is 10.5h.UV index
June and August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Dawkins. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health risk from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for average individuals.Note: The daily high UV index of 7 in August translates into this advice:
Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
