The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Forest Lakes, South Carolina, with an average temperature varying between 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 76.3°F (24.6°C).

Heat index

It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
