Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Fredonia, Kansas, with an average temperature varying between 67.6°F (19.8°C) and 87.1°F (30.6°C).

Temperature

August brings a marginal elevation to a still tropical 87.1°F (30.6°C) from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C) in Fredonia's average high-temperatures. Throughout the month of August, the average temperature dips to a refreshing 67.6°F (19.8°C) at night.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Exercise heightened safety, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may provoke heatstroke.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Direct exposure to sunlight could raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', unifies temperature and humidity readings to offer a comprehensive feel of warmth. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are largely significant for babies and toddlers. Young ones are generally more prone to risk than adults due to their reduced ability to sweat. Their large skin surface area relative to their diminutive bodies and elevated heat production from their activities further enhance this risk.
The physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is on the rise, it curtails evaporation, thereby reducing the heat elimination from the body and causing the feeling of being excessively hot. Potential thermal conditions emerge as the body's heat gain outpaces its cooling mechanisms.
