The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Rotherwood Hills, Tennessee, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.3°F (29.6°C) and min 60.6°F (15.9°C).

Temperature

The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C), barely different from July's 85.8°F (29.9°C). In Rotherwood Hills, the nighttime chill during August is a clear shift from the day's highs, with an average of 60.6°F (15.9°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Take greater precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could result from lengthy activity.
The standards for the heat index are set for locations in shade and under light breezes. 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 'felt air temperature', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. 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.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
