Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Hanceville, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 88.3°F (31.3°C) and 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Temperature

August's onset records a minor alteration in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 88.3°F (31.3°C) from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). Throughout the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 69.3°F (20.7°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a blistering 104°F (40°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
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. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children are often less aware of the need to rest and re-hydrate. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - it's vital to remain hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human 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. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
