Weather in August
Temperature
August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), marking an insignificant difference from July's 90.7°F (32.6°C). Pontotoc reports a consistent average low-temperature of 70.3°F (21.3°C) throughout August nights.Heat index
The heat index value during August is computed to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
