The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Sedgwick, Kansas, with an average temperature varying between 68.9°F (20.5°C) and 89.4°F (31.9°C).

On the advent of August, Sedgwick's average high-temperature exhibits a minor adjustment to a still hot 89.4°F (31.9°C) from July's 92.1°F (33.4°C). Throughout the nights in August, an average low-temperature of 68.9°F (20.5°C) is noted.

Heat index

The heat index value during August is calculated to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
Factoring in the heat index, values are geared towards shaded areas with light breezes. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is an aggregate value of air's warmth and moisture to show the human-felt temperature. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Always consider that direct sunlight exposure might heighten the heat's effects, pushing the heat index up by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Youngsters typically face more danger than adults since they sweat less. Their larger skin surface compared to their small bodies and heightened heat production from their activities augment their vulnerability.
When temperatures rise, the human body turns to perspiration, using the cooling power of evaporating sweat. With a high level of moisture in the air, the evaporation process becomes less efficient, preventing the body from cooling down efficiently and resulting in a sensation of overheating. When body temperature rises due to an imbalance in heat gain, there's a potential for dehydration and overheating.
