July weather forecast
Kentucky, USA

July is the pinnacle of summer in Kentucky, characterized by its intense heat and high humidity levels. Daytime temperatures frequently range from 80°F (26.7°C) to 95°F (35°C), making it the hottest month of the year for most of the state. Nighttime temperatures seldom drop below 65°F (18.3°C), providing little respite from the warmth.

July holds the record for some of the state's highest temperatures, such as the scorching 114°F (45.6°C) recorded in Greensburg on July 28, 1930. The northern regions are generally a few degrees cooler but still experience sweltering conditions. Even the mountains in the southeast offer only a slight reduction in overall temperature.

Both Louisville and Lexington mirror the statewide weather conditions, experiencing their hottest and most humid days of the year. The use of air conditioning becomes nearly ubiquitous, and outdoor activities often get relegated to the early morning or late evening to avoid the peak heat.

When compared to June, July escalates both the temperature and the humidity, pushing them to their annual maximums. Rainfall, although less frequent than in the earlier spring months, can manifest as intense thunderstorms spurred by the high levels of heat and moisture in the air.

In summary, July stands out as the epitome of Kentucky’s hot, humid summers. While thunderstorms become less frequent, their intensity can surge, driven by the extreme atmospheric conditions. It's a month that demands respect for its potential extremes, where caution and preparedness are essential, especially for those planning to spend time outdoors.
