The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Whitthorne, Tennessee, with an average temperature varying between 68.5°F (20.3°C) and 87.3°F (30.7°C).

Temperature

Whitthorne experiences an average high-temperature of a still tropical 87.3°F (30.7°C) in August, subtly different from July's 87.6°F (30.9°C). An average low-temperature of 68.5°F (20.3°C) is observed during the August nights.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', represents the fusion of temperature and moisture in the air to suggest how warm it feels. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Perspiring is a crucial mechanism for the human body, allowing it to release excessive warmth through evaporating sweat. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. With body temperatures on the rise, inefficient heat shedding can lead to dehydration and its associated complications.

Boost your sun resistance with garments that are densely woven yet spacious.
