Weather in August
Temperature
The shift into August uncovers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.8°F (31°C), subtly different from the previous month. During the nights in August, Heflin experiences a consistent average temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a blisteringly hot 104°F (40°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can influence one's weather perception. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Younglings are generally more in peril than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Coupled with a larger skin surface relative to their tiny bodies and greater heat production because of their activity, they become more at risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Take precautions against overexposure. Protection against sun damage is needed. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
