Weather in August
Temperature
On the advent of August, Lake City's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). During the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 71.4°F (21.9°C) is observed in Lake City.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
One way the human body deals with excessive warmth is by perspiring and allowing sweat to evaporate. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Sunshine

In Lake City, South Carolina, the average daily maximum UV index in August is 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, a daily maximum UV index of 6 leads to the following instructions:
Refrain from overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals could burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most powerful between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. To the extent possible, limit exposure to the direct sun during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
