The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Osborn, Alabama, with temperature in the range of an average high of 91.4°F (33°C) and an average low of 72°F (22.2°C).

Temperature

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Keep alert: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke is a potential danger with continued physical activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. 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 important to note that direct sunlight can intensify the weather impact, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When body heat isn't effectively managed, risks of dehydration and overheating amplify.

In August, the average relative humidity is 73%.

Keep in mind that shade structures may not provide complete protection. A hat with a generous brim can prevent nearly 50% of UV rays from reaching your eyes.
