Weather in August
Temperature
August's average high-temperature stands at a still hot 90°F (32.2°C), showing little deviation from July's 92.5°F (33.6°C). An average low-temperature of 69.6°F (20.9°C) is anticipated throughout the nights in Wichita during August.Heat index
The heat index for August is estimated at a very hot 102.2°F (39°C). Use additional protective measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible outcomes. Continuous activity might lead to heatstroke.It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
The evaporation of sweat is a natural cooling mechanism of the human body, facilitated by perspiration. Heightened relative humidity interferes with the body's usual cooling mechanism by reducing evaporation, subsequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and increasing the sensation of heat. Overheating risks increase with rising body temperatures, especially if heat release isn't efficient.
