Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Swink, Alabama, with an average temperature ranging between max 92.7°F (33.7°C) and min 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Temperature

The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a still tropical 92.7°F (33.7°C), from a not significantly different 93.2°F (34°C). Nighttime temperatures in August average to an agreeable 72.1°F (22.3°C).

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.
Keep in mind the heat index values are meant for areas in shade and with light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
