Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Grant, Alabama, with an average temperature fluctuating between 87.4°F (30.8°C) and 68°F (20°C).

Temperature

The advent of August sees the average high-temperature at a still tropical 87.4°F (30.8°C), subtly shifted from July's 88.5°F (31.4°C). In Grant, an average low-temperature of 68°F (20°C) is recorded during August nights.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Heightened precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential risks. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. One's perception of temperature is subjective, varying based on their activity and individual heat perception, influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.

Counter UV radiation's ill effects with clothing designed for sun safety and UV-resistant eyewear.
