August weather forecast
Humboldt, TN

The city of Humboldt, Tennessee, experiences a slight dip in August temperatures from 87.8°F (31°C) to 87.3°F (30.7°C). However, these figures still place August squarely within the city's summer months. Cloud cover decreases slightly from July while still maintaining a significant presence in the sky. Despite the high temperatures, August brings with it a drop in rainfall, easing into the approaching autumn season. With extended hours of sunlight, Humboldt's weather continues to be perfect for outdoor activities.

Temperature

As Humboldt transitions from July to August, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C), nearly the same as the previous 87.8°F (31°C). Humboldt experiences a mean low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) during August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', marries air temperature and humidity to produce a value illustrating perceived warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with a diverse population experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and degree of activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young individuals usually face more risks than adults due to their lower sweat production. Their large skin surface area relative to their tiny bodies and high heat production from their activities adds to their risk.
Perspiration is essential for the human body; it facilitates cooling through the process of sweat evaporation. A higher relative humidity affects normal body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, subsequently lowering the rate at which the body cools and increasing the perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Note: A maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following recommendations:
Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. The Sun's UV radiation is most potent between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to avoid direct sunlight during this time. A wide-brim hat offers excellent sun protection for the eyes, ears, face, and neck. Sunglasses with UVA and UVB protection significantly reduce eye damage from sun exposure.
