Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), a near match to July's 92.7°F (33.7°C). McKinley experiences an average nighttime temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) in the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is appraised at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Forewarned: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are anticipated. Ongoing physical activity increases the likelihood of heatstroke.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
Humidity
In August, the average relative humidity is 73%.Rainfall
The wettest months in McKinley, Alabama, are April and August, with an average 2.44" (62mm) of rainfall.Snowfall

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.2h.UV index
June through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index value of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: In August, an average UV index of 7 transforms into the following instructions:
Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Sun-related eye harm can be minimized with proper sunglasses offering UVA and UVB coverage.
