Weather in August
Temperature
Wattsville, Alabama, registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C) with the arrival of August, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. Wattsville records a consistent low-temperature of 69.4°F (20.8°C) during August nights.Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a blistering 107.6°F (42°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Perspiration is the human body's physiological response to high temperatures and is an attempt to lower body temperature through evaporation of sweat. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from unsafe exposure to UV radiation for ordinary individuals.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Persist with safeguards and heed sun safety doctrines. Keeping sunburn at bay is of prime importance. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Wearing a wide-brim hat can block approximately 50% of UV radiation, protecting the eyes.
