Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Vancleve, Kentucky, with an average temperature ranging between max 85.6°F (29.8°C) and min 62.6°F (17°C).

Temperature

The start of August marks an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), hardly distinguishable from the conditions in July. Despite high daytime temperatures, the average temperature in Vancleve lowers to a comfortable 62.6°F (17°C) during August nights.

Heat index

The heat index value for August is estimated at a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Observations indicate that the heat index values are for shady locations with light wind. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is found by incorporating humidity levels into the air temperature measurement. Factors encompassing physical activity, clothing, and metabolic differences have a role in shaping the individual's impression of temperature. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Younglings frequently fail to recognize the requirement to rest and rehydrate. Thirst emerges late in dehydration - it is imperative to keep hydration levels high, particularly during extended physical exertions.
In the face of high temperatures, the human body's reflex is to perspire, leveraging sweat evaporation for cooling. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. When heat gain exceeds the level the body can remove, body temperature begins to rise, and heat-related illnesses and disorders may develop.
