Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Varnville, South Carolina, with an average temperature ranging between min 73°F (22.8°C) and max 90.1°F (32.3°C).

Temperature

August's onset sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), exhibiting a slight fluctuation from the previous month. Varnville records an average low of 73°F (22.8°C) throughout the nights in August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. A person's impression of weather can be swayed by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, an outcome of perspiration, is key in assisting the human body to moderate its temperature. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
