Weather in August
Temperature
As August takes its course, McKinley's average high-temperature registers at a still tropical 91.9°F (33.3°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. During the month of August, the nighttime temperature in McKinley, Alabama, falls to an average of 72.3°F (22.4°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a blazing hot 114.8°F (46°C). Attention: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. Prolonged effort can result in heatstroke.In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Exposing to direct sunshine may enhance heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. When exposed to direct sunlight, it's possible for the heat index to increase by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
