Weather in August
Temperature
Jackson, Alabama, in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.1°F (33.4°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 92.5°F (33.6°C). In August, Jackson experiences a temperature dip to an average of 72.3°F (22.4°C) at night.Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a life-threatening hot 116.6°F (47°C). Stay wary: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Heatstroke can ensue from extended effort.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. With the sun shining directly, it's crucial to understand that it can increase the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
