Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Akron, Alabama, with an average temperature ranging between min 71.6°F (22°C) and max 91.6°F (33.1°C).

Temperature

August's average high-temperature stands at a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C), showing little deviation from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). In the month of August, an average of 71.6°F (22°C) marks the low-temperature.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is evaluated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Stay vigilant: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may follow prolonged exertion.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
