Weather in August
Temperature
The arrival of August is marked by an average high-temperature of a still hot 88°F (31.1°C), bearing a close resemblance to July. During August, Murphree witnesses a consistent average low-temperature of 68.2°F (20.1°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 102.2°F (39°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is an estimation of the warmth sensation when considering humidity levels. 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. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
