Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), nearly identical to July's 91°F (32.8°C). West Blocton's nights in August experience an average temperature drop to a pleasant 71.2°F (21.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is calculated to be a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Careful: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are anticipated. With ongoing exertion, heatstroke becomes a possibility.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. The direct sun can potentially cause the heat index to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
