Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), showing a minute difference from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). The average low-temperature, in August, is a pleasant 68°F (20°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Heat index determinations are made taking into account the shade and light air movements. 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', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
The natural method the human body uses to remove excess heat is by perspiring and letting sweat evaporate. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Sunshine
In Normal, Alabama, the average sunshine in August is 10h.UV index
The months with the highest UV index are May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high threat to health from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: An average UV index of 6 in August transforms into this advice:
Skirt overexposure. People with light complexions might get scorched in under 20 minutes. The Sun's UV radiation is most intense from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sun exposure during these hours. Clothes that are both tight-knit and comfortably loose are prime choices for sun protection.
