Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Allensville, Kentucky, with an average temperature varying between 86°F (30°C) and 66.9°F (19.4°C).

Temperature

Allensville signifies an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86°F (30°C) in August, closely mirroring the 87.3°F (30.7°C) of July. An average low-temperature of 66.9°F (19.4°C) is recorded during the nights in August.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Undertake enhanced precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible risks. Continuous activity could trigger heatstroke.
Metrics for the heat index primarily focus on shaded spots and light wind conditions. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is derived by integrating air temperature with the existing relative humidity to express the perceived warmth. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

The average relative humidity in August is 76%.

Sidestep overexposure. Individuals with fair complexions risk burning in fewer than 20 minutes. To the best of your ability, limit your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak. On days when the sun blazes, arm yourself with sunglasses that block UVA and UVB radiation.
