The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Washburn, Tennessee, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and an average low of 63.1°F (17.3°C).

Temperature

The onset of August marks an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), hardly differing from July's 87.4°F (30.8°C). Washburn's temperature exhibits a stark contrast from daytime to nighttime, averaging lows of 63.1°F (17.3°C) in August.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is appraised at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is what the temperature feels like to the human body when the air temperature is combined with the relative humidity. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Children often overlook the necessity for resting and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late sign of dehydration - thus, it is critical to stay hydrated, especially during extended periods of physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
