Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Bridgeport, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 87.1°F (30.6°C) and 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Temperature

The transition into August marks the average high-temperature at a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), differing minimally from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). Nighttime temperatures throughout August register a significant deviation from the day's highs, averaging at an enjoyable 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Heat index

During August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise more precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could precipitate heatstroke.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. In the presence of direct sunshine, the heat index could be augmented by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct sunlight exposure should be noted as it has the potential to increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
