Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Moscow, Mississippi, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.2°F (32.9°C) and 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Temperature

The commencement of August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.2°F (32.9°C), barely varying from July's 91.4°F (33°C). Throughout August, Moscow encounters an average temperature drop to an agreeable 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Beware: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are very likely. Heatstroke is imminent with prolonged activity.
One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The impression of weather on a person can be swayed by additional aspects, including metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When relative humidity increases, the body's capacity to evaporate heat decreases, leading to a heightened sense of warmth. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
