Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Black Bottom, is another hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 88.3°F (31.3°C) and min 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Temperature

August's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.3°F (31.3°C), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. Throughout August, Black Bottom witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Special measures are necessary to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity could result in heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.

The average relative humidity in August is 75%.

UV index

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for the ordinary person.
Note: The UV index of 6 during August translates into the following guidance:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure to the Sun during this period. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
