Weather in August
Temperature
Southdown, Kentucky, marks the onset of August with an average high-temperature of a still warm 82.8°F (28.2°C), subtly divergent from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). August nights indicate a noticeable temperature drop from the daytime highs, with an average reading lowering to a mild 59.5°F (15.3°C).Heat index
In August, the heat index is estimated at a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). When exposure and activity are sustained, they could induce fatigue, with a chance of heat cramps.Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Under direct sunshine, the heat index values might be elevated by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is a value derived by merging air temperature with the humidity to convey how the climate feels. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. It is noteworthy to mention that direct sunlight exposure can augment the felt temperature, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
