Weather in August
The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Norway, Kansas, with an average temperature varying between 86.7°F (30.4°C) and 65.3°F (18.5°C).Temperature
In the transition from July to August, Norway reports an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.7°F (30.4°C), indicating a close resemblance to the prior month. Throughout August, Norway encounters an average temperature drop to a comfortable 65.3°F (18.5°C).Heat index
The heat index in August is estimated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise extra preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible. Continuous activity could result in heatstroke.Heat index data is primarily for areas with shade and subjected to light winds. Direct sunlight might cause an increase of up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees in the heat index.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's weather perception can be influenced by a range of factors including metabolic differences, being pregnant, and their level of physical activity. Understand that direct sun rays can influence the weather's impact, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. Children regularly disregard the necessity to rest and replenish fluids. Thirst is a late symptom of dehydration - thus, maintaining hydration, particularly during long-lasting physical activities, is essential.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.

Sunshine
The average sunshine in August is 10.6h.UV index
In August, the average daily maximum UV index is 6. A UV Index estimate of 6 to 7 represents a high health hazard from unprotected exposure to Sun's UV rays for the ordinary person.Note: A daily maximum UV index of 6 in August translates into the following instructions:
Shield from overexposure. Defense against sun-related harm is required. Avoid direct Sun exposure from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., a period when UV radiation is most intense, and remember that not all shade structures provide full protection. Consider a wide-brim hat essential for effective sun defense covering your face, neck, and eyes.
