Weather in August

August follows in the footsteps of July, serving up traditionally hot summer days in Montgomery. It remains one of the warmer months of the City, indicative of summer's climax. Yet, the synchronicity between maximum and minimum temperatures this month is noteworthy, boasting readings 90.9°F (32.7°C) and 72.1°F (22.3°C) respectively. While the UV Index begins to dwindle slightly over this period, the rainfall quantity typically peaks. The seemingly omnipotent sun, paired with sporadic rainfall here and there, creates a quintessential late summer scenario.

Temperature

The transition into August shows a subtle variation to a still tropical 90.9°F (32.7°C) from July's 91.9°F (33.3°C) in the average high-temperature. The low-temperature in Montgomery, Alabama, averages to a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C) during the nights of August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is evaluated at a blisteringly hot 111.2°F (44°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Relative humidity in excess curtails evaporation, therefore reducing heat dissipation from the body, leading to feelings of excess heat. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
