Weather in August
Temperature
During August, Cahaba Heights records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.1°F (32.3°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). The nights of August anticipate an average low-temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
August's heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 107.6°F (42°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
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. The impact of weather on an individual can be subjective, affected by the person's activity and heat perception, which can vary due to elements including wind, clothing, and metabolic differences. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
When it comes to cooling down, the human body's primary method is through perspiration, making use of sweat evaporation to eliminate excess heat. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. For excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck, consider a wide-brim hat.
