Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Shiloh, Kentucky, with an average temperature varying between 87.3°F (30.7°C) and 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), nearly identical to July's 88°F (31.1°C). Shiloh, during August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is evaluated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Records show heat index calculations are tailored for shaded regions and mild winds. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Direct exposure to sun rays can potentially augment the heat sensation, elevating the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
