Weather in August

In Prentiss, the peak temperatures are generally noted in August, averaging a high of 91.4°F (33°C) and a low of 72°F (22.2°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 114.8°F (46°C). Stay alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke is a likely outcome of ongoing activity.Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Taking into account that direct sunlight can boost the heat effect, the heat index may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
