Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Tunnel Springs, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 72.1°F (22.3°C) and 91.9°F (33.3°C).

August's arrival brings an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.9°F (33.3°C), slightly deviating from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). Tunnel Springs reports a consistent average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) throughout August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a burning hot 116.6°F (47°C). Be prepared: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Continued activity may lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.
