Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Snowden, South Carolina, with an average temperature ranging between min 77.4°F (25.2°C) and max 86.7°F (30.4°C).

Temperature

The shift to August signals an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C), subtly varied from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). Throughout the nights in August, Snowden experiences an average low-temperature of 77.4°F (25.2°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
