Weather in August
Temperature
The highest temperatures are recorded in August, with averages reaching a high of 88.3°F (31.3°C) and a low of 78.4°F (25.8°C).Heat index
August's mean heat index is estimated at a sweltering 102.2°F (39°C). Take more safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are potential outcomes. Persistent activity might lead to heatstroke.Take into consideration that the heat index values are calculated for shade and light wind conditions. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', gives a temperature feeling by integrating air temperature and humidity. The individual's impression of temperature can be shaped by additional aspects such as metabolic variations, physical activity, and clothing. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. When the air holds a significant amount of moisture, the efficiency of the evaporation process is decreased, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently, leading to the sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
Humidity
The average relative humidity in August is 73%.Rainfall
August is the month with the most rainfall. Rain falls for 23.8 days and accumulates 5.04" (128mm) of precipitation.Snowfall

The average length of the day in August is 13h and 12min.On the first day of the month, sunrise is at 6:02 am and sunset at 7:36 pm. On the last day of August, sunrise is at 6:19 am and sunset at 7:06 pm CDT.
Sunshine

May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health hazard from exposure to the Sun's UV rays for average individuals.Note: The maximum UV index of 7 during August translates into these guidelines:
Use protective steps and abide by sun safety guidelines. Safeguarding against skin and eye harm is necessary. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days. Take heed! Reflections of sand and water make the Sun's UV rays stronger.
