Weather in August
Temperature
The average high-temperature during August registers at a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), closely corresponding to the preceding month. Against the backdrop of high daytime temperatures, an average low-temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C) is noted during August nights in Alpena.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a fiery hot 102.2°F (39°C). More safety actions are required, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Long-term activity may precipitate heatstroke.Heat index evaluations are typically in the context of light winds and shaded environments. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gives an indication of how one might feel in terms of heat after considering humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. With a lot of moisture in the air, the evaporation process is not as effective, and the body does not cool down as efficiently, creating a perception of overheating. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Try to minimize direct Sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the peak period for UV radiation. Also note that objects like parasols or canopies might not provide complete sun protection. For minimizing sun-related eye damage, always choose sunglasses with UVA and UVB coverage.
