Temperature

As Marion, Kansas, transitions from July to August, the average high-temperatures adjust to a still hot 87.8°F (31°C), nearly the same as the previous 90.1°F (32.3°C). An average low-temperature of 67.6°F (19.8°C) is common in Marion, Kansas, during the nights of August.

Heat index

During August, the heat index is evaluated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Always consider that heat index estimations are for light winds and places in the shade. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. This impact is subjective, influenced by the person's physical activity and individual heat perception, affected by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic differences. Consider the sun's direct rays and their impact; they can potentially increase the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Children often lack awareness of the importance of taking breaks and rehydrating. The feeling of thirst is a late indication of dehydration, so maintaining hydration, especially during long periods of physical activity, is critical.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. During conditions of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's ability to perspire is inhibited, increasing the sensation of warmth. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.

Keep in mind that shade structures like parasols or canopies do not offer complete sun protection. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes.
