Weather in August

August experiences a plateau in the scorching summer of Daphne, with the temperatures moving minutely within the range of 77.4°F (25.2°C) to 89.4°F (31.9°C). The rainfall pattern from July prevails featuring 6.85" (174mm) of rainfall dispersed across 24.8 days, slightly more voluminous than the previous month. However, the reduced wind speeds of 6mph (9.7km/h) further amplify the intense heat. While the daylight hours decline slightly, they stay in perfect harmony with the unchanged UV-index.

Temperature

Daphne experiences a transition to a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C) in average high-temperatures with the arrival of August, not greatly differing from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). An average low-temperature of 77.4°F (25.2°C) is noted during the month of August.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be an extremely hot 107.6°F (42°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
