The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Adolphus, Tennessee, with an average temperature varying between 86.5°F (30.3°C) and 64.2°F (17.9°C).

Temperature

The ushering in of August brings an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), closely mirroring the 87.3°F (30.7°C) of July. Adolphus registers a significant reduction from the day's heat, with an average temperature drop to an enjoyable 64.2°F (17.9°C) in August.

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. 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 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine the human-perceived temperature equivalent. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Exceeding the body's heat disposal threshold results in a rise in body temperature and potential thermal disorders.
