Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Napoleon, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 88.5°F (31.4°C) and 69.6°F (20.9°C).

Temperature

Napoleon experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still hot 88.5°F (31.4°C) in August, closely aligned with July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). August sees the temperature falling to a mean low of 69.6°F (20.9°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a scorching 104°F (40°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Children often miss understanding the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst usually appears late during dehydration - therefore, maintaining hydration, particularly during long physical activities, is essential.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
