Weather in August

As the summer continues in Brandon, Mississippi, August mirrors July's temperature highs, making it the co-hottest month of the year. Sun protection, hydration, and cool clothing remain essential during this period. While no drastic weather alterations unfold, there is a slight reduction in daylight hours from July to August. These conditions pave the way for the slow transition into autumn. By the time September arrives, temperatures begin to descend gradually.

Temperature

In Brandon, the warmest months are July and August, registering an average high-temperature of 91.8°F (33.2°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
