Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Kenton, Tennessee, with an average temperature fluctuating between 86.9°F (30.5°C) and 68.4°F (20.2°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Extra safeguards are necessary to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Prolonged activity might cause heatstroke.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. Direct sunlight might lead to a heat index increase by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. Direct sun rays have a notable impact on perceived temperature, which can raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for babies and toddlers. Children commonly overlook the importance of rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst, being a delayed sign of dehydration, emphasizes the need to keep hydration up, especially during lengthy physical activities.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration. Excessive warmth is eliminated from the body by evaporation of sweat. Increased relative humidity interferes with body cooling by slowing the rate of evaporation, resulting in a slower body cooling rate and a heightened feeling of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
