Weather in August
Temperature
With the onset of August, Rolling Fork's average high-temperature clocks in at a still hot 90.5°F (32.5°C), showing a minor fluctuation from the previous month. During the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) is observed.Heat index
The heat index for August is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Watchful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are predicted. Continued exertion could lead to heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
For the human body, perspiration is the go-to method to regulate temperature, using sweat's evaporation to dissipate warmth. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. As the body gains more heat than it can dissipate, there's a risk of increasing temperatures and resultant overheating.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance.
