Weather in August
Temperature
August welcomes an average high-temperature of a warm 84.4°F (29.1°C), not much different from the preceding month. Myrtle, after hot August days, encounters a marked drop to an average nighttime temperature of 61°F (16.1°C).Heat index
August's average heat index is calculated to be a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
