Weather in August
Temperature
South Congaree's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 90°F (32.2°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Nighttime temperatures consistently average an agreeable 72.1°F (22.3°C) during August.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
