The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Spider, Kentucky, with an average temperature fluctuating between 59.5°F (15.3°C) and 82.8°F (28.2°C).

Temperature

August denotes a minimal variation in the average high-temperature to a still moderately hot 82.8°F (28.2°C) from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). With a significant temperature contrast, nighttime temperatures hover around an average low of 59.5°F (15.3°C) in August.

Heat index

For August, the heat index is computed to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Uninterrupted activity during exposure could lead to a sense of exhaustion, possibly causing heat cramps.
The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. Depending on the activity and the individual's heat perception, which may vary due to factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variations, this effect remains subjective. 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 particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
