The last month of the summer, August, is also a moderately hot month in Michael, Illinois, with an average temperature ranging between max 84.6°F (29.2°C) and min 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Temperature

The average high-temperature is a still warm 84.6°F (29.2°C) in August, hardly different from the 85.8°F (29.9°C) recorded in July. In August, Michael encounters an average low-temperature of 65.5°F (18.6°C) during the night.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Adopt heightened safety measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may occur. Sustained activity might cause heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. A rise in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees may result from direct sunlight exposure.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', embodies the combination of air temperature and moisture content to illustrate perceived heat. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. The sun, when shining directly, can have a significant impact on the perceived temperature, increasing the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly important for children. Children typically face more danger than adults as their sweat production is usually lower. Additionally, the bigger skin surface compared to their small size and the increased heat due to their activeness exacerbate the risk.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. In the presence of abundant moisture in the atmosphere, the cooling process through evaporation is hindered, causing the body to feel excessively warm. Excessive heat that's not properly managed leads to increased body temperatures and resultant health issues.
