Weather in August
Temperature
In August, Barbourville experiences a barely noticeable shift in meteorological conditions, with average high-temperatures moving from 85.3°F (29.6°C) in July to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C). During August, the nighttime temperature presents a clear descent from the daily peaks, falling to an average of 62.2°F (16.8°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt heightened preventive measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Persistent activity could lead to heatstroke.It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. 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. It is noteworthy that being in direct sunlight can enhance the weather's impact, raising the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. In high relative humidity, the body's ability to evaporate heat is diminished, resulting in a heightened feeling of warmth. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
