Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 93.2°F (34°C), closely mirroring July's climate. Okolona registers a prominent dip from daytime highs, with an average of 71.2°F (21.8°C) during the nights of August.Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The heat index may scale up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.

Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. Make an effort to avoid direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation, and note that objects like parasols or canopies might not offer full sun protection. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
