Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), hardly diverging from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). In Jackson, the average nighttime temperature during August is a comfortable 66.6°F (19.2°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. 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 particularly important for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
