Weather in August
Temperature
At the onset of August, Kenova records an average high-temperature of a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), showing little deviation from the preceding month. Kenova anticipates a pronounced temperature drop from daily highs during the nights of August, with an average low of 62.8°F (17.1°C).Heat index
During August, the heat index is calculated to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Take more preventive steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is elevated. Long activity may culminate in heatstroke.When referencing the heat index, its values are suitable for shady environments and light breezes. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. Physical activity, clothing, and metabolic variations are additional factors that impact an individual's perception of temperature. 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 extremely significant for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. Under high air temperature and high humidity (high heat index) conditions, the body's ability to perspire is compromised, increasing the sensation of heat. If heat absorption exceeds the body's cooling ability, body temperature can elevate, resulting in potential thermal illnesses.
