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

Montgomery records an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). In August, Montgomery records an average nighttime temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Vigilance: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. The likelihood of heatstroke increases with continued activity.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index has the potential to rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with direct sunshine exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. 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.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 translates into these guidelines:
Beware of overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals risk burning in less than 20 minutes. The hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. have the most intense UV radiation. As much as possible, limit direct sun exposure during this period. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
