Weather in August
Temperature
July's transformation into August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 91.4°F (33°C), noting a minor change from the preceding month. Nighttime temperatures in Albany hover around an average low of 74.5°F (23.6°C) in August.Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). Eyes open: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Prolonged exertion could lead to heatstroke.Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One should be aware that direct sunshine can amplify the perceived temperature, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face greater risks than adults as their sweat production is less. Also, their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and the high heat generation due to their activity contributes to their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. Accumulating more heat than the body can dissipate leads to an uptick in body temperature, with potential heat stress consequences.
