Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Evanston, is another warm month, with an average temperature fluctuating between 85.6°F (29.8°C) and 65.7°F (18.7°C).

Temperature

On the advent of August, Evanston's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a warm 85.6°F (29.8°C) from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). An average minimum temperature of 65.7°F (18.7°C) is recorded during the month of August.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is estimated at a torrid 96.8°F (36°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. The influence of weather is personal, differing among a variety of individuals based on differences in body mass, stature, and the level of physical activity. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Kids generally face higher risks than adults as they sweat less. Along with their large skin surface compared to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, their vulnerability is increased.
Evaporating sweat is a key way the human body dispels excessive warmth, all thanks to the process of perspiration. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
