Weather in August

August continues the high-temperature trend set by July, making Pearl, Mississippi, USA sizzle in the summer heat. As the most robust summer month, local pools and water parks are popular hideouts. Evenings become especially cherished as they bring soothing breezes to cool down the city after a scorching day. Occasional thundershowers also participate in cooling the atmosphere. Interesting to note, August mimics July's temperature range, yet with even higher relative humidity.

Temperature

Pearl's peak temperatures tend to occur in July and August, with an average high-temperature of 91.8°F (33.2°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Remain cautious: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are foreseeable. Ongoing activity may precipitate heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun could elevate the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
