Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Callaway, Kentucky, with an average temperature ranging between min 61.3°F (16.3°C) and max 84.7°F (29.3°C).

Temperature

The arrival of August denotes a barely perceptible change in the average high-temperatures to a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C) from July's 85.1°F (29.5°C). Callaway documents a significant temperature variance in August, with the mean nighttime lows settling at a comfortable 61.3°F (16.3°C).

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. An individual's perception of weather can be affected by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Young children typically face greater hazards than adults because they do not sweat as much. Their larger skin surface in comparison to their little bodies and the high heat production from their active nature compounds their vulnerability.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. 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 excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
