Weather in August

August sustains the heat, but the slight dip in temperatures indicates summer's departure. A slight drop in UV index and fewer hours of sunshine reinforce the gradual transition towards autumn. While one might expect lesser rain, rainfall inches up slightly from 2.4" (61mm) in July to 2.52" (64mm). Evenings become longer, providing a reprieve from the intense daytime heat. Wind speeds slightly pick up offering a much-needed cool breeze during the hot days.

Temperature

August commences in Chanute with an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.4°F (30.2°C), showing little deviation from July's 88.7°F (31.5°C). Chanute, in August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 67.5°F (19.7°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.
It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Exposure to unobstructed sunshine could lead to an increase in the heat index 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. This effect tends to be personal, with the weather perception differing among individuals due to variations in body mass, height, and exertion. Keep aware, the sun, when shining directly, can intensify the heat experience, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. Young ones are generally at greater risk than adults due to their limited sweating ability. In addition, their large skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production from their activities add to their vulnerability.
In response to overheating, the human body perspires to cool down, mainly through the evaporation of sweat. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. Elevated heat gain compared to the body's release capability poses risks of dehydration and potential overheating.
