Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Galewood, Tennessee, with an average temperature varying between 65.1°F (18.4°C) and 87.1°F (30.6°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.1°F (30.6°C), nearly identical to July's 87.8°F (31°C). A sharp reduction from the daytime highs is witnessed during August, with nighttime temperatures averaging a low of 65.1°F (18.4°C).

Heat index

The heat index value during August is computed to be a sweltering 98.6°F (37°C). Greater safety measures are needed, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Continuous activity might trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', provides an understanding of perceived warmth by combining temperature and relative humidity. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is essential to be conscious of the fact that direct sunlight can intensify the felt heat, leading to an elevation in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
