Temperature

With August's advent, Benbar, Tennessee, sees an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.4°F (30.8°C), subtly shifted from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). During August, an average low-temperature of 68.4°F (20.2°C) is observed.

Heat index

The heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is essential to realize that direct sunlight can escalate the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.

Humidity

The average relative humidity in August is 74%.

Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
