Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Jewell, Kansas, with an average temperature fluctuating between 88.9°F (31.6°C) and 67.1°F (19.5°C).

Temperature

Jewell records an average high-temperature of a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 91.9°F (33.3°C). Jewell records a consistent low-temperature average of 67.1°F (19.5°C) during August, indicating a significant difference from the daytime heat.

Heat index

August's heat index is computed to be a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Research indicates the heat index considers values in shaded locales and with light winds. Being exposed to direct sunshine might trigger a heat index increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. The impact of weather is individual, with diverse individuals experiencing it differently due to variations in body mass, height, and activity levels. Under direct sun rays, the felt temperature might be heightened, with the heat index increasing by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Sweat evaporation, driven by perspiration, is the method the human body uses to rid itself of excessive warmth. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Rising body temperatures due to excess heat retention could signify impending heat disorders.
