Weather in August
Temperature
Columbia experiences an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.1°F (27.3°C) with the onset of August, subtly varied from July's 82.9°F (28.3°C). Throughout the month of August, Columbia expects an average low of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be a tropical 86°F (30°C). If exposure and ongoing activity persist, they might induce a state of tiredness and heat cramps.Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising 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.
