Weather in August
Temperature
Alma signifies an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C) in August, closely mirroring the 92.8°F (33.8°C) of July. In August, Alma endures a notable temperature shift from day to night, with lows averaging at an agreeable 68.7°F (20.4°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', integrates the air's temperature and its humidity to showcase the felt temperature by people. Additional elements including metabolic differences, the level of physical activity, and attire have a role in shaping the individual's temperature perception. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. An increase in relative humidity hinders the body's normal cooling function by reducing evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of body cooling and enhancing the sense of warmth. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Prevent overexposure. Protection from the sun's harmful effects is needed. Be aware that the sun's UV radiation is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and try to reduce direct sun exposure during this period as much as possible. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
