Weather in August
Temperature
Mount Pleasant's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). In August, Mount Pleasant's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 68.5°F (20.3°C) during the night.Heat index
The heat index for August is evaluated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical 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 hold particular importance for children. 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.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Under conditions of high temperature and humidity (enhanced heat index), sweat production is compromised, exacerbating the sensation of warmth. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
