Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Lanton, Tennessee, with an average temperature varying between 67.6°F (19.8°C) and 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

Lanton registers an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C) with the arrival of August, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. Lanton's nighttime temperature in August falls to an average of 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Realize that the values for the heat index are set for shaded places and light winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
