Temperature

Quitman's temperatures peak on average in August, reaching 94.6°F (34.8°C) at their highest and 72.7°F (22.6°C) at their lowest.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay watchful: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are likely. Ongoing effort may cause heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
