Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August notes a subtle temperature variation to a still tropical 91.6°F (33.1°C) from July's 93.7°F (34.3°C). Throughout August, the temperature in Alcorn falls to an average low of 71.1°F (21.7°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is evaluated at an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Children often overlook the need for breaks and fluid intake. Thirst is a late-stage sign of dehydration - hence, it is necessary to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Remember, devices such as parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For effective sun eye protection, rely on sunglasses certified for UVA and UVB resistance.
