Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Florala, is also a hot month, with an average temperature ranging between max 90.7°F (32.6°C) and min 73.6°F (23.1°C).

August welcomes an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), not much different from the preceding month. Throughout the month of August, Florala witnesses an average temperature of 73.6°F (23.1°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Stay mindful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke could follow extended physical effort.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
The body's natural response to excessive warmth is perspiration, as it allows for cooling through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.
