Weather in August

As summer continues, August in Gladstone, Missouri, experiences weather conditions similar to July. There's barely any drop in temperature from the previous month, indicating an extended summer spell. Broad daylight and clear skies dominate the activities of the day, necessitating the widespread use of sun protection measures. August carries the weight of summer's end but also the anticipation of transition. As August gives way to September, the weather turns cooler, ringing in the beautiful changes of autumn.

Temperature

Heat index

August's heat index is calculated to be a sweltering 95°F (35°C). Ensure extra safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are likely. Continuous activity might result in heatstroke.
Know that the heat index computations account for shaded terrains and slight winds. Heat index values may rise by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees when exposed to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', takes into account both air temperature and humidity to illustrate what people actually feel. Elements such as metabolic variations, pregnancy, and physical exertion can shape one's weather perception. In direct sunlight, the heat's impact can be heightened, potentially leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are quite important for children. Young ones regularly neglect the requirement for rest and fluid replenishment. Thirst is a late stage of dehydration - so, it is necessary to keep hydrated, particularly during extended periods of physical exertion.
Through perspiration, the body has a natural mechanism to eliminate excessive heat via sweat evaporation. In situations of high air temperature combined with high humidity (significant heat index), the body's ability to perspire is reduced, heightening the sense of warmth. When heat uptake goes beyond the body's cooling mechanisms, there's a surge in body temperature, posing health risks.
