August, the last month of the summer in Piney Woods, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 91.6°F (33.1°C) and an average low of 71.6°F (22°C).

Temperature

The warmest months are July and August, with an average high-temperature of 91.6°F (33.1°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is appraised at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.
Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
