The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in The Rocks, Kentucky, with an average temperature fluctuating between 84.9°F (29.4°C) and 66.2°F (19°C).

Temperature

The transition from July to August brings an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), barely different from July's 86.2°F (30.1°C). In The Rocks, the August nights cool down to an average low of 66.2°F (19°C).

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to direct sunshine can increase heat index values by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', blends air temperature and moisture content to represent the felt temperature to humans. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In high temperatures, perspiration kicks in, allowing the human body to cool down through the evaporation of sweat. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Heat-related challenges, like dehydration, can be anticipated when body heat isn't managed effectively.
