Weather in August
Temperature
Covington witnesses its highest average temperatures during July and August, peaking at 91.9°F (33.3°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is appraised at a blazing hot 116.6°F (47°C). On guard: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are predicted. Heatstroke is a potential hazard with continuous physical effort.Be informed that the heat index values are oriented around shady conditions and gentle breezes. A rise of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index could result from direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct exposure to the sun's rays can enhance the felt temperature, increasing the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular significance for children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
Perspiration is the body's default response to elevated temperatures, as it promotes the evaporation of sweat to achieve cooling. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
