Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August denotes an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 81.5°F (27.5°C), subtly different from July's 82.4°F (28°C). Birmingham observes an average low-temperature of 63.3°F (17.4°C) during August nights.Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). Enduring exposure and ongoing activity could cause a sense of fatigue and subsequent heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The presence of direct sunlight can raise the heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
