Weather in August
Temperature
August's weather records an average high-temperature of a still tropical 93.7°F (34.3°C), showing little deviation from July. Dodge City, during the nights of August, experiences an average temperature drop to a pleasant 72.1°F (22.3°C).Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a life-threatening hot 118.4°F (48°C). Beware: Heat exhaustion along with heat cramps are on the cards. Heatstroke could result from sustained physical activity.One should consider that heat index numbers are for shaded settings and light wind. Heat index values might soar by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees with exposure to direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', is a metric representing the sensation of warmth when air temperature and moisture come together. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. 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 particularly important for children. Typically, children face more danger than adults as they usually perspire less. Their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and increased heat output from their activities enhance their risk.
When faced with excessive heat, the human body begins to perspire, utilizing the cooling benefits of sweat evaporation. A surge in relative humidity can disrupt the body's normal cooling function by slowing evaporation, hence reducing the rate at which the body cools and intensifying the perception of heat. Accumulating heat beyond the body's cooling measures leads to rising temperatures and potential ailments.
