Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Watson, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 70.5°F (21.4°C) and 90°F (32.2°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 90°F (32.2°C), hardly diverging from July's 90.9°F (32.7°C). The average temperature drops to a pleasant 70.5°F (21.4°C) during the night in the month of August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. If exposed to direct sunlight, the heat index could climb by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
