Weather in August
Temperature
As Topeka welcomes August, the average high-temperature records at a still tropical 90.3°F (32.4°C), marking an insignificant deviation from the prior month. Throughout the month of August, the nighttime temperature dips to an average of 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is estimated at a blazing hot 113°F (45°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. 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 remain especially vital for 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.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Elevated relative humidity disrupts typical body cooling by reducing the evaporation rate, consequently decreasing the body's cooling rate and enhancing the feeling of heat. When body temperature rises due to excess heat gain beyond its removal capability, one might experience heat-related disorders.
