Weather in August
Temperature
As Knoxville welcomes August, the average high-temperature is noted at a still hot 91.6°F (33.1°C), closely aligning with the preceding month. During the August nights, an average temperature of 71.6°F (22°C) is observed.Heat index
In August, the heat index is evaluated at a burning hot 113°F (45°C). Mindful: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are to be expected. Extended physical effort might result in heatstroke.It is worth noting that heat index values are gauged for conditions in the shade 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 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Take note that direct exposure to the sun can increase the felt temperature, possibly adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.

Take precautions and utilize sun safety practices. Protection against skin and eye damage is required.
