Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Montgomery, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 94.3°F (34.6°C) and 73°F (22.8°C).

Temperature

On the advent of August, Montgomery's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 94.3°F (34.6°C) from July's 94.6°F (34.8°C). In August, Montgomery's temperature tends to fall to an average low of 73°F (22.8°C) during the night.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a blazing hot 120.2°F (49°C). Take heed: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Heatstroke is a potential outcome of continuous activity.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.

Deflect overexposure. Sun protection is a necessity. 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. A hat with a broad brim is indispensable, filtering out up to half of UV rays.
