Weather in August
Temperature
August notes an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C), subtly differing from July's 86°F (30°C). A striking difference from the daytime highs is registered during August nights in Kirkville, with an average temperature of 62.1°F (16.7°C).Heat index
Throughout August, the heat index is calculated to be a fiery hot 95°F (35°C). Implement heightened safety measures - risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is increased. Prolonged activity may result in heatstroke.Heat index specifics point out values are for conditions of shade and a slight breeze. Direct sunshine exposure could raise heat index values by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'real feel', comes about by integrating the temperature readings with the humidity levels. One's perception of weather can be shaped by other factors, involving metabolic differences, pregnancy, and physical exertion. Direct sun rays can make one feel hotter, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are extremely significant for children. Young kids are often more at risk than adults as they tend to perspire less. Besides, their skin surface is larger relative to their small bodies, and their increased heat output from their active lifestyle compounds their risk.
Evaporating sweat, thanks to perspiration, acts as a natural air conditioner for the human body. High relative humidity reduces the evaporation rate, resulting in a lower heat removal rate from the body, causing the perception of being overheated. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
