Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Highview, Kentucky, with an average temperature fluctuating between 66.2°F (19°C) and 86.2°F (30.1°C).

Entering August, the average high-temperature is recorded at a still hot 86.2°F (30.1°C), exhibiting a minimal shift from July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Highview records an average temperature drop to a comfortable 66.2°F (19°C) in August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is appraised at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', is achieved by amalgamating air temperature with the relative humidity readings. The influence of weather is personal, with varied individuals experiencing it differently due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical exertion levels. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are of high significance for children. In general, younger individuals are at greater risk than adults because they tend to sweat less. Also, having a larger skin surface to body size ratio and greater heat production due to their active behavior contribute to this danger.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat-related disorders may develop if heat gain in the body overshadows its cooling capacity, leading to elevated temperatures.
