Horn Lake weathers through August maintaining similar readings as July. The city experiences a steady weather pattern, minus the rainfall days showing a slight upward trend. Despite being in the heart of summer, daytime temperatures gracefully stabilize, while nighttime temperatures register a minor dip. Historically, August's climatic stasis is subtly broken by a slight increase in wind speed, stirring the calm atmosphere without affecting visibility.

Entering August, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), exhibiting a minimal shift from July's 89.6°F (32°C). In August, the average low-temperature is an agreeable 70.9°F (21.6°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Direct sunlight exposure may result in a rise of the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Factors such as metabolic variation, pregnancy, and physical activity play a role in one's impression of weather. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
