Weather in August
Temperature
Covington's shift into August sets the average high-temperature at a still warm 82.2°F (27.9°C), a figure that deviates only slightly from July's 83.8°F (28.8°C). Covington experiences a consistent, yet significant, drop from daily highs to a low-temperature of 57.6°F (14.2°C) throughout August.Heat index
August's heat index is estimated at a hot 87.8°F (31°C). Long-standing exposure and activity could induce a feeling of tiredness and lead to heat cramps.When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. When exposed to the direct sun, the heat index may augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and activity levels. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are particularly meaningful for 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.
