Weather in August
Temperature
August's advent presents an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.4°F (31.9°C), indicating a slight variation from the conditions of the previous month. During August nights, Lexington witnesses a consistent average temperature of 69.3°F (20.7°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is evaluated at a scorching 107.6°F (42°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.Evaluating the heat index requires understanding its values in the shade and with gentle winds. With exposure to direct sunlight, the heat index may be increased by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Elevated relative humidity diminishes evaporation, thereby reducing the body's ability to shed heat and creating a feeling of being too warm. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
