The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Nellie, Alabama, with temperature in the range of an average low of 72.1°F (22.3°C) and an average high of 92.7°F (33.7°C).

Temperature

August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C), showing a minute difference from July's 93.2°F (34°C). Nellie encounters a steady low-temperature average of 72.1°F (22.3°C) throughout the month of August.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a blazing hot 118.4°F (48°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.
Note that heat index values are valued for light wind and location in the shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. 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. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids often lack the knowledge about the necessity to take breaks and consume liquids. Thirst, as a late symptom of dehydration, necessitates the maintenance of hydration, particularly during enduring physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Seek shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. Sunglasses that guard against UVA and UVB rays are pivotal in minimizing sun-induced ocular damage.
