Weather in August
Temperature
Mauldin notes an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) in August, hardly diverging from July. Throughout August, an average nighttime temperature of 67.8°F (19.9°C) is experienced.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). Adopt extra safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Heat index values can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure of how hot it feels when the actual air humidity is factored in. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

For holistic sun protection encompassing the eyes, ears, face, and neck, a wide-brim hat is key.
