Weather in August
Temperature
The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), barely different from July's 85.6°F (29.8°C). Throughout the month of August, Lexington witnesses an average temperature of 64.4°F (18°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is appraised at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Undertake extra safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are expected. Heatstroke may result from lengthy activity.Regarding the heat index, one should be aware it's determined by shaded settings and mild winds. If directly exposed to the sun, the heat index could rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by many aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. One's exposure to direct sunlight has the potential to intensify the heat sensation, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. When there is abundant moisture in the air, the body's cooling through the evaporation process becomes less effective, leading to the sensation of overheating. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
