Weather in August
August presents a continuation of the hot temperatures experienced in July. Despite the high temperatures, rain trends lower in August, dropping to 2.8" (71mm), the lowest for the year. There is a noticeable reduction down in humidity; dropping from 77% in July to 76%. August also has extended daylight hours, only slightly less than June. However, the decrease in rainfall, despite being subtle, brings with it the potential for hotter, drier days in Corbin.Temperature
The start of August sees the average high-temperature at a moderately hot 85.5°F (29.7°C), showing little difference from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). Corbin reports a sharp reduction in temperature during August, averaging at an enjoyable 62.6°F (17°C) at night.Heat index
During August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.The metrics for the heat index are tailored for both shady environments and light winds. An exposure to direct sunlight may lift 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. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. Young children are generally more endangered than adults, as they usually less sweat. And also, due to larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production as a result of their activity.
Evaporation of sweat is the main factor behind the cooling effect of perspiration in the human body. With higher relative humidity, the rate of evaporation is reduced, resulting in increased heat retention in the body compared to drier air. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
