Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Sutherland, Kentucky, with an average temperature varying between 84.7°F (29.3°C) and 66°F (18.9°C).

Temperature

In August, Sutherland experiences a minor shift in meteorological conditions with average high-temperatures marked at a still moderately hot 84.7°F (29.3°C), closely mirroring the climate in July.

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a very hot 95°F (35°C). Apply extra caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could happen. Heatstroke might occur with long-duration activity.
Data suggests that the heat index is set for environments in shade and with a light wind. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. In the direct sunlight, the weather's impact can be amplified, possibly boosting the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. The body faces dehydration threats when its cooling efforts are outpaced by excessive heat gain.
