Weather in August
Temperature
The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), hardly differing from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Iuka experiences an average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C) in the month of August.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Ensure heightened precautions, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is significant. Sustained activity could provoke heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Keep in mind that direct sunshine exposure can amplify the weather's effects, possibly increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often ignore the need to take a break and drink fluids. Thirst is a late-stage symptom of dehydration - hence, maintaining hydration, particularly during extended physical activities, is crucial.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
