Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Norcatur, Kansas, with an average temperature varying between 88.9°F (31.6°C) and 66.4°F (19.1°C).

Temperature

With the onset of August, the average high-temperature registers at a still hot 88.9°F (31.6°C), subtly different from July's 92.3°F (33.5°C). Throughout August nights, Norcatur reports a steady thermal contrast from the day, with an average low-temperature of 66.4°F (19.1°C).

Heat index

In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a very hot 96.8°F (36°C). Ensure additional precautions, heat exhaustion and heat cramps may be expected. Heatstroke could occur from sustained activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. 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 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', is calculated by taking the relative humidity value for a specific location and factoring it into the air temperature reading. The influence of weather is personal, differing among individuals based on variations in body mass, stature, and the degree of physical exertion. 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 remain especially vital for babies and toddlers. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body normally cools itself by perspiration, as evaporated sweat carries heat away from the body. Under high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, perspiration is limited, and the perception of heat is increased. Should the body fail to balance its heat gain, the escalating temperature poses health challenges.

Select sunglasses that boast both UVA and UVB protection to limit the adverse effects of the sun on the eyes.
