Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Menlo, Kansas, with temperature in the range of an average low of 67.1°F (19.5°C) and an average high of 89.2°F (31.8°C).

Temperature

August's commencement is accompanied by an average high-temperature of a still hot 89.2°F (31.8°C), diverging marginally from July's 92.5°F (33.6°C). Menlo's average low-temperature of 67.1°F (19.5°C) in August reflects a considerable decline from the daytime peak.

Heat index

Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Implement additional cautionary measures, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Prolonged activity might induce heatstroke.
It is important to note that the heat index values are for shaded areas and light wind scenarios. Direct sunlight can potentially boost the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'felt air temperature', evaluates the perceived heat by adding the effect of moisture in the air. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Be aware that direct exposure to sunlight increases heat impact and may raise the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely vital to babies and toddlers. Children often fail to understand the importance of rest and rehydration. Thirst is a late manifestation of dehydration - hence, it is crucial to stay hydrated, especially during ongoing physical activities.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. In circumstances of high air temperature and humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is restricted, heightening the feeling of warmth. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Employ safeguards and advocate sun safety protocols. Shielding against skin and eye damage is crucial. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV radiation is at its peak, but keep in mind that not all shade structures provide complete protection. Tightly woven clothing, when worn loosely, shields effectively against the Sun.
