Weather in August

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

Temperature

The advent of August observes an average high-temperature of a warm 84.9°F (29.4°C), nearly identical to July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). During the month of August, the nighttime temperature in Creighton falls to an average of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

August's average heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Incorporate additional preventive steps, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are possible. Long-lasting activity may cause heatstroke.
It is crucial to understand that heat index figures are for shade and gentle wind conditions. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. Direct sun exposure is noteworthy in its ability to escalate the felt temperature, potentially adding 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Youngsters are usually more at risk than adults, considering they sweat less. Additionally, their high skin surface area compared to their little bodies and their high heat production due to activity increases their risk.
Normally, the human body cools itself through perspiration, which removes excessive heat by evaporating sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. Overheating can ensue when the body accumulates more heat than it can release, and dehydration severity may vary.
