Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.8°F (33.2°C), subtly diverging from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Byram sees an average low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) during August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
