Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in McGhee, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 87.6°F (30.9°C) and 68°F (20°C).

Temperature

McGhee observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.6°F (30.9°C) in August, barely different from 88.7°F (31.5°C) in July. The mean low-temperature during August nights is a pleasant 68°F (20°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Being aware that direct sunlight can impact the felt heat might mean an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
