Temperature

Lake Hiwassee's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a still hot 92.1°F (33.4°C), marking an insignificant variation from the 92.8°F (33.8°C). Lake Hiwassee, in August, experiences an average temperature of 71.2°F (21.8°C) at night.

Heat index

August's average heat index is estimated at a blistering 105.8°F (41°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. Exposure to direct sun rays can influence the heat you feel, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
