The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Hamburg, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 91.4°F (33°C) and 72°F (22.2°C).

Temperature

Hamburg's weather in August indicates an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.4°F (33°C), nearly consistent with the 91.9°F (33.3°C) of July. The average low-temperature during August nights is a pleasant 72°F (22.2°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a life-threatening hot 113°F (45°C). Precaution: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are possible. Heatstroke is a serious risk with continued exertion.
Heat index details are generally centered around shaded locations and a mild breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. 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. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
