Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Hooker, Mississippi, with an average temperature varying between 91.4°F (33°C) and 72°F (22.2°C).

Temperature

Hooker in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 91.6°F (33.1°C). Hooker's temperature drops to an average low of 72°F (22.2°C) during the nights of August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is evaluated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Warning: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke is a risk with ongoing activity.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Incorporate safeguards and honour sun safety principles. Protection from skin and eye damage is obligatory. Attempt to stay under shade and limit exposure to the Sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
