Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Goddard, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 69.3°F (20.7°C) and 88.9°F (31.6°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature during August registers at a still tropical 88.9°F (31.6°C), maintaining a close resemblance to the previous month. Goddard, during the month of August, experiences an average low-temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is appraised at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Incorporate extra safety measures to avoid heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Continuous activity could provoke heatstroke.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. It is important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body has a built-in cooling mechanism through perspiration; evaporating sweat dissipates the excess heat. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests these recommendations:
Avoid excessive sunlight. Those with lighter skin may experience burning in less than 20 minutes. Avoid direct sunlight between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
