Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Austral, Tennessee, with an average temperature fluctuating between 64.8°F (18.2°C) and 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

August brings a marginal elevation to a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 87.1°F (30.6°C) in Austral's average high-temperatures. A steep decline to an enjoyable 64.8°F (18.2°C) characterizes the August nights.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. When under direct sunshine, the heat index may be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant 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.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. Heat-related complications, like dehydration, can manifest if the body's heat gain exceeds its dissipation capacity.
