August, the last month of the summer in Attalla, is also a hot month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 89.1°F (31.7°C) and an average low of 68.7°F (20.4°C).

Temperature

With August's advent, Attalla sees an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.1°F (31.7°C), subtly shifted from July's 90.1°F (32.3°C). Throughout the month of August, Attalla observes an average nighttime temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be an extremely hot 105.8°F (41°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. When the body's heat gain surpasses its removal capacity, body temperature starts to climb, leading to potential heat-related ailments.
