Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Oakley, Kansas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 67.1°F (19.5°C) and 89.2°F (31.8°C).

Temperature

With the start of August, Oakley measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 89.2°F (31.8°C), not significantly differing from July's 92.5°F (33.6°C). August nights present a sharp contrast to daytime highs, with average temperatures of 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Heat index

For August, the heat index is evaluated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', measures the perceived warmth when incorporating the humidity present in the air. One's perception of temperature can vary depending on physical activity and individual heat sensitivity, influenced by factors like wind, attire, and metabolic variations. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
One of the main methods the human body employs to cool down is by perspiring, as this process allows sweat to evaporate and remove excess heat. During high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the process of perspiration is hindered, intensifying the sensation of heat. As body temperatures escalate without effective heat release, one might face dehydration threats.
