Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Stono, South Carolina, with an average temperature varying between 87.4°F (30.8°C) and 76.8°F (24.9°C).

Temperature

The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), hardly differing from July's 88.2°F (31.2°C). An average low-temperature of 76.8°F (24.9°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
