The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Spanish Fort, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 77°F (25°C) and 89.6°F (32°C).

Temperature

The shift into August records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.6°F (32°C), subtly varied from July's 90°F (32.2°C). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 77°F (25°C) is expected.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
