Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Speed, Kansas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 89.1°F (31.7°C) and 66.7°F (19.3°C).

Temperature

The advent of August reveals an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.1°F (31.7°C), showing minimal difference from the prior month. The nighttime temperature during August displays a significant divergence from daily peaks, averaging at a comfortable 66.7°F (19.3°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is computed to be a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Exercise increased caution, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Continuous activity could lead to heatstroke.
Given the heat index, its values are aligned with shaded sites and gentle winds. Direct exposure to sunshine could lead to a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the result of factoring in humidity to the air temperature, indicating perceived warmth. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Recognize that direct exposure to the sun can escalate the heat effect, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Children usually face more risks than adults as their ability to sweat is less. Additionally, their larger skin surface in relation to their petite bodies and higher heat output due to their activities increases their vulnerability.
Perspiring is how the human body naturally cools down, as sweat's evaporation takes away excess heat. In conditions of both high temperature and humidity (a high heat index), sweating is limited and the perception of heat is enhanced. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.
