Weather in August
Temperature
Independence's weather, upon August's arrival, documents an average high-temperature of a still hot 90.9°F (32.7°C), nearly identical to the prior month. Throughout the August nights, Independence encounters a low-temperature of 73.6°F (23.1°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is evaluated at a burning hot 114.8°F (46°C). Keep guard: Heat cramps and heat exhaustion are likely. Continued activity increases the risk of heatstroke.One should be cognizant that the heat index values are tailored for shaded spots and mild winds. The heat index can potentially augment by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. A person's impression of weather can be affected by numerous aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, 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. Young ones often underestimate the need for rest and rehydration. Thirst appears late in dehydration - hence, it is important to keep hydrated, particularly during prolonged physical activities.
Perspiring is the body's way of cooling down, particularly by allowing sweat to evaporate and take the heat with it. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.

Guard oneself from overexposure. Defence against sun injury is vital. Avoid direct Sun exposure and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the period of highest UV radiation. Remember, however, that not all shade structures offer full protection. In bright sunlight, prioritize sunglasses that grant protection from UVA and UVB radiation.
