Weather in August
Temperature
The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still warm 81.5°F (27.5°C), nearly identical to July's 82.8°F (28.2°C). Knoxville's August nights cool down to an average low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 87.8°F (31°C). If exposure and activity persist, fatigue could ensue, possibly leading to heat cramps.Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', shows a temperature sensation when both heat and moisture conditions are combined. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
