Weather in August
Temperature
August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C) from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). In Tuscumbia, an average low-temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) is recorded during August nights.Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Emphasize additional safety, risk of heat cramps and heat exhaustion is high. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. Additional elements encompassing metabolic differences, the degree of physical activity, and attire can impact the individual's perception of temperature. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The primary way humans combat excessive warmth is by perspiring, letting sweat evaporate and cool the body. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Employ a wide-brim hat for potent defense against up to 50% of UV rays.
