Weather in August
Temperature
Entering August, Signal Mountain's average high-temperature reads a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), indicating a close resemblance to the previous month's climate. During August, the nighttime temperature averages to a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take more caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may occur. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.Be advised, the heat index considers values for conditions in shade and with a light breeze. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Given direct exposure to sunlight, one might experience a rise in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Youngsters often neglect the necessity for rest and hydration. Thirst is a sign of advancing dehydration - thus the importance of maintaining hydration, specifically during long-lasting physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and 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.
