Weather in August
Temperature
August brings a marginal elevation to a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C) in Tatum's average high-temperatures. In August, Tatum experiences a temperature dip to an average of 70.9°F (21.6°C) at night.Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.

Uphold preventive measures and conform to sun safety guidelines. Defending against skin and eye harm is crucial. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible.
