The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Theta, Tennessee, with temperature in the range of an average low of 67.6°F (19.8°C) and an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature for August is a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), closely aligning with the temperature of the preceding month. Theta records an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) throughout the month of August.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Heat index readings emphasize conditions of light breezes and shaded spots. Direct sunlight exposure may cause a 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees rise in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. An individual's perception of weather can be influenced by a variety of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their degree of physical exertion. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The body's self-cooling mechanism is rooted in perspiration, where evaporating sweat cools down excessive warmth. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.

Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
