Weather in August

The city of Humboldt, Tennessee, experiences a slight dip in August temperatures from 87.8°F (31°C) to 87.3°F (30.7°C). However, these figures still place August squarely within the city's summer months. Cloud cover decreases slightly from July while still maintaining a significant presence in the sky. Despite the high temperatures, August brings with it a drop in rainfall, easing into the approaching autumn season. With extended hours of sunlight, Humboldt's weather continues to be perfect for outdoor activities.

Temperature

August's weather displays an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), slightly varied from July's 87.8°F (31°C). Humboldt observes an average nighttime temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) during August.

Heat index

August's average heat index is appraised at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Keep it in mind, direct sunlight can augment the heat you experience, possibly pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Humidity

In August, the average relative humidity is 76%.

Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Sunglasses providing both UVA and UVB protection are non-negotiable on sunlit days.
