Weather in August

August continues the summer trend in Prattville, Alabama. The long sunny days and warm temperatures are apt for beach outings. As the city moves into September, there is a noticeable drop in temperatures. Moreover, rainfall decreases, visibility improves, and wind speed intensifies, indicating the onset of fall.

Temperature

Transitioning from July to August, Prattville observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.7°F (32.6°C), differing subtly from the previous month. August's average low-temperature reading settles at a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed 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.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children are more at risk than adults since they tend to sweat less. Moreover, their large skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their activities contribute to their vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. With an abundance of moisture present in the air, the process of evaporation becomes less effective, and the body fails to cool down as it should, leading to the sensation of overheating. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

In the presence of strong sunlight, it's crucial to wear sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays.
