Weather in August
Temperature
Dandridge records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). Dandridge experiences a substantial decline from the daytime high temperatures in August, settling on an average low of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.For clarity, heat index numbers account for light winds and areas under shade. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. One must note that being under the direct sun can escalate the heat's effects, with the heat index possibly rising by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. Increased relative humidity slows down evaporation, thereby decreasing the rate of heat removal from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Increasing body temperatures can be a precursor to dehydration if the body can't shed the extra heat.

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the average person.Note: In August, the maximum UV index of 6 suggests this advice:
Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest, limit direct exposure to the Sun and note that shade structures may not provide full sun protection. Prioritize a wide-brim hat for comprehensive sun defense for your face, neck, eyes, and ears.
