Weather in August
Temperature
Memphis measures an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C) in August, nearly consistent with the preceding month. Memphis records an average low of 65.3°F (18.5°C) throughout the nights in August.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 96.8°F (36°C). Greater preventive actions are needed, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Persistent activity could provoke heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Remember, direct sunlight exposure can heighten the heat impact and might increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With excessive moisture in the atmosphere, the effectiveness of the evaporation process is decreased, causing the body to cool down less efficiently, leading to a sensation of overheating. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.
