Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Maxwell, Kentucky, with an average temperature varying between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 66.4°F (19.1°C).

Temperature

August experiences an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), barely different from July's 86°F (30°C). The nights of August in Maxwell anticipate an average low-temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C).

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake additional precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. The heat index has the possibility to be enhanced by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when there is direct sun exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', arises from combining readings of air temperature and relative moisture content. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for babies and toddlers. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.

Note: An average UV index of 6 in August transforms into this advice:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Stay in the shade and limit direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a time when UV radiation is particularly strong. Remember, however, that shade structures may not provide complete protection. Sunglasses that ward off UVA and UVB rays play a pivotal role in reducing solar eye damage.
