Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Jenkins, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 88.5°F (31.4°C) and 68.4°F (20.2°C).

Temperature

The transition into August is marked with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.5°F (31.4°C), showing an insignificant shift from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Jenkins's nighttime temperature during August is consistently averaged at a pleasant 68.4°F (20.2°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is computed to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young ones generally face higher dangers than adults since they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface area compared totheir small bodies and increased heat production from their activities, the risks are heightened.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

The average relative humidity in August is 75%.
