Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), subtly different from the previous month. Throughout the month of August, Wedgefield reports a steady low-temperature average of 71.4°F (21.9°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a blisteringly hot 105.8°F (41°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. 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. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.

Escape overexposure. People with light skin may incur burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most potent. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer full protection. Loose clothes with a tight weave are optimal for safeguarding yourself against the Sun's rays.
