Weather in August

The transition from July to August sees average high-temperatures adjusting to a moderately hot 84°F (28.9°C), from a not significantly different 86°F (30°C). Elwood records an average temperature drop to a refreshing 64.9°F (18.3°C) in August.Heat index
The heat index value during August is evaluated at a hot 93.2°F (34°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', combines air temperature and relative humidity to represent a human perceived temperature equivalent. This effect is personal, shaped by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, influenced by factors including wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly important for children. Young individuals are typically more threatened than adults due to their reduced perspiration. Also, the larger skin surface proportionate to their small bodies and the increased heat from their activities magnify their risk.
