Weather in August
Temperature
A minor adjustment in Dodge City's average high-temperature is noted with the start of August, touching a still tropical 93.7°F (34.3°C) from July's 94.1°F (34.5°C). Dodge City usually reports an average low-temperature of 72.1°F (22.3°C) during the month of August.Heat index
The heat index value for August is appraised at a burning hot 118.4°F (48°C). Take note: Heat exhaustion and heat cramps are expected. Heatstroke can occur with prolonged effort.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. A direct sunlight exposure may boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Awareness of direct sun exposure is crucial as it has the potential to heighten the weather's effects, pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young people are generally more susceptible than adults because they perspire less. Furthermore, their proportionally larger skin surface to their petite bodies and the increased heat output from their actions add to the risk.
Sweat evaporation plays a crucial role in cooling the human body, a process enabled by perspiration. When the air contains significant moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process decreases, preventing the body from cooling down effectively and creating a feeling of overheating. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
