Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Byhalia, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between min 70°F (21.1°C) and max 88.3°F (31.3°C).

Temperature

August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C), showing a minute difference from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). During August, an average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C) is observed.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. 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.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.
