Weather in August
Temperature
During July and August, Prichard experiences its highest average temperatures, peaking at 90.9°F (32.7°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a blistering 111.2°F (44°C). Be careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Heatstroke may result from extended activity.Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. The heat index might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
