Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Lacon, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 69.4°F (20.8°C).

Temperature

The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 89.1°F (31.7°C) in the average high-temperature. Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) is expected.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a scorching 104°F (40°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
The heat index's values are generally associated with conditions in shade and light breezes. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. The individual's experience of temperature can be shaped by numerous aspects such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.
