Weather in August
Temperature
Wheatcroft, Kentucky, notes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C) in August, hardly diverging from July. Throughout August, an average low-temperature of 66.2°F (19°C) is expected.Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.In reference to the heat index, it's for places in shade and with a slight wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a fusion of air temperature and moisture levels to demonstrate the sensation of heat. The individual's temperature perception can be influenced by numerous factors such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. 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 highly critical to babies and toddlers. Juveniles often do not understand the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a delayed symptom of dehydration - hence, it is vital to maintain hydration, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
By perspiring, the human body can shed its excessive warmth since evaporated sweat cools it off. An upsurge in relative humidity affects normal body cooling mechanisms by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. When the heat gained surpasses the body's cooling capacity, temperatures rise, signaling potential health concerns.
