Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Mexia, Alabama, with temperature in the range of an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C) and an average high of 91.9°F (33.3°C).

Temperature

August notes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), subtly differing from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). An average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) is common during the nights of August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is calculated to be a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.
When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Overheating and potential dehydration arise when body heat gain eclipses its release capability.

Note: The maximum UV index, 7 during August, leads to the following recommendations:
Evade overexposure. Individuals with fair skin risk burning in under 20 minutes. It's important to stay in the shade and limit exposure to the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, although remember that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
