Weather in August
Temperature
Elamton, Kentucky, experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a warm 85.5°F (29.7°C) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). The August nights in Elamton, Kentucky, bear witness to a significant drop from the daytime highs, settling at an average temperature of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
For most parts of August, the heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.Consider that heat index readings are for situations in the shade and light wind. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The perception of temperature can be subjective, varying based on activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Consider the fact that direct sun exposure can influence how hot one feels, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are generally in more danger than adults because they perspire less. Their large skin surface area compared to their small bodies and the excessive heat due to their actions raises their risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An elevated level of relative humidity hinders evaporation, leading to decreased heat elimination from the body, inducing a sensation of excess heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.
