The last month of the summer, August, is another warm month in Amsterdam, Missouri, with an average temperature varying between 84.9°F (29.4°C) and 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

Amsterdam experiences a subtle adjustment in high-temperatures to a moderately hot 84.9°F (29.4°C) with the onset of August, maintaining near parity with July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Amsterdam experiences an average temperature drop to a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C) during August nights.

Heat index

In August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Take extra safety measures to prevent heat exhaustion and heat cramps. Heatstroke could follow lengthy activity.
Take note of the fact that heat index values are based on shaded circumstances with light airflows. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', joins air temperature with relative humidity to produce a temperature perception for humans. An individual's perception of weather can be swayed by a variety of elements including metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and their level of physical exertion. When in direct sunlight, one should be cautious as it can raise the heat index by as much as 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are primarily vital for children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
To prevent overheating and help regulate its internal temperature, the human body sweat and rely on the evaporation to cool down. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Heat absorption that surpasses the body's shedding capability can lead to overheating and varying levels of dehydration.

Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat.
