The last month of the summer, August, is another hot month in Devils Elbow, Missouri, with an average temperature fluctuating between 65.8°F (18.8°C) and 87.3°F (30.7°C).

Temperature

Devils Elbow starts August with an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.3°F (30.7°C), a minor shift from July's 89.2°F (31.8°C). An average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) is anticipated throughout the nights during August.

Heat index

The average heat index in August is computed to be a very hot 100.4°F (38°C). Implement more safety precautions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion may happen. Persistent activity could induce heatstroke.
Understanding the heat index involves considering values for shaded locales with light wind. With exposure to direct sunshine, the heat index could climb by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'felt air temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. By being directly under the sun, it's possible for the felt temperature to increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. 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.
The body's innate mechanism to counteract overheating is through perspiration, as it leverages the cooling effects of sweat evaporation. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. When the body is unable to balance heat gain, its temperature elevates, which may induce thermal illnesses.
