Weather in August

Weather in August maintains the summer high temperatures similar to those experienced in July. The period remains characterized by long daylight hours and high UV index. Although the month witnesses less rainfall, humidity remains constant, so staying cool becomes a priority. August's hot conditions set the stage as the summer slowly makes way for fall.

Temperature

Florissant marks the start of August with an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.3°F (29.6°C), hinting at a slight fluctuation from July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Florissant reports an average low-temperature of 66.7°F (19.3°C) during the nights of August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is calculated to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). More protective measures are required - heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Heatstroke may follow lengthy activity.
It is noted that heat index values are ascertained for locations in the shade and with gentle breezes. Facing direct sunlight may hike up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'apparent temperature', melds the effects of warmth and moisture to generate a feeling of heat. An individual's temperature experience can be influenced by extra factors, including metabolic differences, activity levels, and clothing. Realize that direct exposure to sunlight can augment the felt heat, leading to a potential increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical for babies and toddlers. Youngsters generally face more threats than adults given their lesser ability to sweat. Coupled with their larger skin surface relative to their small bodies and higher heat production due to their activities, they are more endangered.
The process of perspiration is vital for the human body to get rid of excess warmth by allowing sweat to evaporate. An increase in relative humidity retards evaporation, subsequently reducing the body's heat removal rate and leading to a sensation of being overly warm. The body is at risk of dehydration and related complications when it fails to shed excessive heat.
