Weather in August
Temperature
Furman starts August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), a minor shift from July's 91°F (32.8°C). The low-temperature averages to a pleasant 73.2°F (22.9°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Keep wary: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a possible outcome of ongoing activity.Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes.
