Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Forest Grove, Tennessee, with an average temperature fluctuating between 67.1°F (19.5°C) and 86°F (30°C).

Temperature

The onset of August manifests an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C), demonstrating a minor variation from the preceding month. During the nights in August, Forest Grove experiences a consistent average temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
When the body gets too warm, it perspires, leading to sweat evaporation which cools it down. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

In August, the average relative humidity is 76%.
