Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Zip City, Alabama, with temperature in the range of an average high of 88°F (31.1°C) and an average low of 68.9°F (20.5°C).

Temperature

August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still hot 88°F (31.1°C) from July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) is expected.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take special precautions - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke may occur with lengthy activity.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', reflects the blend of air temperature and relative humidity to give a temperature impression. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
