Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Hillwood, Tennessee, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.2°F (30.1°C) and 64.4°F (18°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), nearly identical to July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). August nights report a substantial dip from daytime highs to an average of 64.4°F (18°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a very hot 98.6°F (37°C). More preventive actions are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is significant. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The effect of weather is individual, with a variety of people experiencing it differently due to distinctions in body mass, height, and level of activity. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
