The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Princeton, Alabama, with an average temperature varying between 86.7°F (30.4°C) and 68°F (20°C).

Temperature

August's advent denotes a minor fluctuation in the average high-temperature to a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C) from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). During August, the nighttime temperature averages of 68°F (20°C).

Heat index

The average heat index in August is calculated to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Heat index values are typically calculated for conditions of shade and a light breeze. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Be mindful that being in direct sunlight might mean feeling hotter, with the heat index rising by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
