Weather in August

While August continues to simmer in New Albany, a slight dip in temperature can be noticed compared to July. This month is characterized by enjoyable long sunny days with moderate rainfall. Although there exists a slight decrease in temperature, this dip goes unnoticed due to the persisting heat. Going forward into September, there's a gradual decrease in temperature, signaling the end of the summer season and the onset of early fall.

New Albany's August average high-temperature settles at a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing a near match with the preceding month. New Albany usually reports an average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) during the month of August.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Additional precautions are required to avert heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity may culminate in heatstroke.
It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade and light breezes. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', stands as a testimony to how temperature and humidity combine to impact our sense of warmth. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. When heat gain surpasses the level the body can shed, body temperature begins to increase, and consequently, overheating and dehydration can occur, with varying severity.
