Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Heidelberg, Kentucky, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 62.6°F (17°C).

Temperature

In August, the average high-temperature registers at a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C), nearly identical to July's 86.9°F (30.5°C). Nighttime temperatures exhibit a substantial dip from daytime highs during August, averaging at an enjoyable 62.6°F (17°C).

Heat index

August's mean heat index is appraised at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Implement more preventive measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Heatstroke might result from extended activity.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. Overheating and dehydration threats arise when heat gain goes beyond what the body can comfortably shed.
