Rainfall tends to be slightly higher this month, providing some respite from the prevalent heat.

Temperature

As Alabaster steps into August, the average high-temperature holds at a still tropical 90.1°F (32.3°C), hinting at a minor fluctuation from the prior month. In the month of August, the temperature generally rests at an average low of 71.2°F (21.8°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a blisteringly hot 109.4°F (43°C). Stay on guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Ongoing effort can cause heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. 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 primarily vital for children. Children often fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst, being a late symptom of dehydration, underlines the importance of maintaining hydration, especially during ongoing physical activities.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
