Temperature

Tatum's August weather, with an average high temperature of 94.8°F (34.9°C) and an average low temperature of 73.4°F (23°C), tends to be the warmest of the year.

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
