August, the last month of the summer in Franklin, is another tropical month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.7°F (31.5°C) and 67.8°F (19.9°C).

Temperature

August reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 88.7°F (31.5°C), slightly varied from July's 89.8°F (32.1°C). In the month of August, an average of 67.8°F (19.9°C) marks the low-temperature.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be an extremely hot 104°F (40°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. 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 'feels like' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Youths are typically more endangered than adults since they usually sweat less. Their larger skin surface concerning their smaller bodies and higher heat production due to activity further adds to their vulnerability.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
