Weather in August
Temperature
July and August mark Indianola's peak of temperatures, averaging a high-temperature of 92.1°F (33.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Remember that heat index calculations are made for conditions in the shade with light wind. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. 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. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Eschew overexposure. Those with light skin may suffer burns in fewer than 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is particularly strong, noting that parasols or canopies may not offer total sun protection. It's wise to wear UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses when the sun shines brightly.
