The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Michigan City, Mississippi, with an average temperature varying between 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 70°F (21.1°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). In the month of August, Michigan City records a consistent average low-temperature of 70°F (21.1°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
