Weather in August
Temperature
Alma ushers in August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 91°F (32.8°C), showing a close resemblance to the previous month. Alma, amid August nights, sees a noteworthy disparity from daily highs with an average temperature of 68.7°F (20.4°C).Heat index
The heat index for August is calculated to be an extremely hot 109.4°F (43°C). Mind: Heat cramps along with heat exhaustion are anticipated. Heatstroke can develop with continued physical activity.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index values could be amplified by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of high relative humidity, the rate of evaporation decreases. This results in the body retaining more heat than under conditions of dry air. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
