Weather in August
Temperature
Sparta, Tennessee, experiences an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C) in August, subtly different from July's 85.8°F (29.9°C). An average temperature of 64.2°F (17.9°C) marks the nights in August.Heat index
August's average heat index is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Incorporate additional safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Long-term activity may induce heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. The individual's impression of temperature can be affected by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical exertion, and attire. 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 especially vital to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The body's inherent cooling system operates through perspiration, wherein evaporating sweat offsets excessive heat. In the presence of elevated relative humidity, the evaporation rate decreases. This reduction leads to increased body heat retention compared to conditions of dry air. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.

Resist overexposure. Safeguarding from solar damage is indispensable. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun's UV radiation is at its peak. Limit your exposure to direct sunlight during these hours. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
