Weather in August

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

Temperature

August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing a slight difference from July's 86°F (30°C). Poverty, in August, experiences an average temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C) at night.

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a sweltering 96.8°F (36°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to 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 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. Factors including metabolic differences, physical activity, and clothing are additional elements that influence the individual's temperature experience. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.

In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
