Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C), nearly identical to July's 91°F (32.8°C). The temperature in Goshen, Alabama, lowers to an average of 72.3°F (22.4°C) during August nights.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is appraised at a scorching 111.2°F (44°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.From a standpoint of the heat index, values pertain to shaded conditions and mild breezes. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. Additional factors encompassing metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and clothing can impact the individual's perception of temperature. Considering the impact of direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to surge by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
