Weather in August
Temperature
August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 91°F (32.8°C), demonstrating subtle variation from the preceding month. Throughout the August nights, Starkville encounters a low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is calculated to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
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. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on 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 are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children frequently underestimate the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is vital to stay hydrated, particularly during lengthy physical exercises.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
