Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Lerose, Kentucky, with an average temperature varying between 62.6°F (17°C) and 85.6°F (29.8°C).

Temperature

Lerose experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) in August, marking an insignificant shift from 86.9°F (30.5°C) in July. Despite drastic daily temperature oscillations, Lerose cools down to an average low-temperature of 62.6°F (17°C) in August.

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt additional preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential outcomes. Prolonged activity may trigger heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Elements of metabolic variation, physical activity, and clothing contribute to the effect of temperature on an individual. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
To cool down, the human body relies on perspiration, a process where excessive heat is eliminated as sweat evaporates. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
