Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Louisville, is also a moderately hot month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.8°F (29.9°C) and 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August brings an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.8°F (29.9°C), nearly identical to July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Throughout August, Louisville witnesses a nighttime temperature average of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
In the scope of the heat index, its values resonate with shade and light wind conditions. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', ties air temperature with relative humidity to produce the perceived temperature sensation. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
