Weather in August
Temperature
Vidette, Alabama, experiences a recorded average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.5°F (32.5°C) in August, closely aligned with July's 91°F (32.8°C). Vidette records an average nighttime low-temperature of 72.3°F (22.4°C) throughout August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is computed to be an extremely hot 111.2°F (44°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is an amalgamation of air temperature and humidity to express the equivalent perceived temperature. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.

Fend off overexposure. Sun protection is vital. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Outfit yourself in sun-safe attire, like long sleeves, pants, a hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.
