Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Knoxville, Arkansas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 68.4°F (20.2°C) and 90.7°F (32.6°C).

Temperature

Knoxville in August witnesses an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.7°F (32.6°C), indicating a slight variation from July's 91.4°F (33°C). A striking departure from daytime highs to an average low-temperature of 68.4°F (20.2°C) is witnessed during August.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a scorching 109.4°F (43°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.
Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. With direct sunlight, the heat index could increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. When you're directly under the sun's rays, remember that the heat index may surge by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
Humans rely on perspiration as a cooling mechanism, wherein the evaporating sweat counteracts excessive warmth. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
