August weather forecast
Kehoe, KY

Following on from July's peak, temperatures in Kehoe, Kentucky, undergo a slight decline in August, though maintaining the summer warmth. Confirming its summer status, August also experiences no snowfall. The month is defined by plenty of sunshine and warm daytime temperatures, creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities. With gradual shortening of daylight hours towards the end of this month, August serves as the transition point to the less severe September.

Temperature

The onset of August in Kehoe notes an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), subtly shifted from July's 87.3°F (30.7°C). In stark contrast to the day's heat, the temperature dips to an average of 62.4°F (16.9°C) during August nights.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is computed to be a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Adopt special protective actions against heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Long-duration activity risks heatstroke.
Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. The impact of weather is personal, differing among a variety of people based on differences in body mass, height, and the level of physical exertion. 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 particularly relevant to children. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
To combat high temperatures, the human body perspires and relies on sweat evaporation for cooling. An increase in relative humidity disrupts body cooling by slowing the evaporation rate, thereby reducing the rate at which the body cools and amplifying the sense of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

Stand by precautions and apply sun safety measures. Evading sunburn is of great importance. Stay in the shade and limit direct sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its strongest. Remember, however, that not all shade structures provide full sun protection. Arm yourself against UV rays' harm with protective apparel and UV-filtering shades.
