Temperature

A minimal variation is noted in Joelton's average high-temperature at the onset of August, reaching a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) from July's 87.8°F (31°C). The nighttime temperature, during August, averages of 67.5°F (19.7°C).

Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunlight may make the heat index values climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
