Weather in August
Temperature
Ferguson observes a minor difference in average high-temperatures between July's 86.5°F (30.3°C) and August's 85.3°F (29.6°C). Ferguson's temperature in August lowers to a consistent average of 66.7°F (19.3°C) during the nights.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is evaluated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Implement enhanced safety actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion could occur. Sustained activity might result in heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index could experience an increase of 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'feels like', offers an insight into how hot it feels when we factor in moisture content. This effect is personal, influenced by the individual's physical activity and heat sensitivity, shaped by factors including wind, attire, and metabolic variations. 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 are extremely significant for babies and toddlers. Young individuals are generally in more danger than adults due to their lower capacity to sweat. Moreover, their large skin surface in relation to their small bodies and the increased heat generation from their activities makes them more vulnerable.
The human body cools itself through perspiration, as excessive warmth is removed from the body through sweat evaporation. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

In Ferguson, in August, it is raining for 14.2 days, with typically 3.27" (83mm) of accumulated precipitation. Throughout the year, in Ferguson, there are 149 rainfall days, and 31.61" (803mm) of precipitation is accumulated.Snowfall

Sunshine
In Ferguson, the average sunshine in August is 10.3h.UV index
May through August, with an average maximum UV index of 6, are months with the highest UV index. A UV Index of 6 to 7 symbolizes a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for the ordinary person.Note: The daily high UV index of 6 in August translates into this advice:
Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the Sun emits the most powerful UV radiation. Limit direct exposure to the Sun during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage.
