The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Hartshorn, Missouri, with an average temperature ranging between max 86.5°F (30.3°C) and min 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Temperature

Hartshorn starts August with an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.5°F (30.3°C), hinting at a minimal fluctuation from July. Throughout the month of August, Hartshorn expects an average low of 65.5°F (18.6°C).

Heat index

The heat index value for August is calculated to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take additional safety steps, risk of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is notable. Prolonged activity may cause heatstroke.
In terms of the heat index, values are set with light wind and shade conditions in mind. Exposure to the direct sun might augment heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'apparent temperature', quantifies the warmth felt when relative humidity is considered. This effect is subjective, differing among individuals based on their physical activity and perception of heat, which can be influenced by factors like wind, clothing, and metabolic variances. Bear in mind that direct sunshine exposure increases weather impact, and may raise heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially crucial for babies and toddlers. Kids are usually more vulnerable than adults, given their lesser sweating ability. Along with their larger skin surface relative to their small stature and the excess heat due to their activity, their risk is amplified.
The natural cooling mechanism in humans involves perspiration, where the evaporation of sweat balances out excessive warmth. With high air temperature and humidity (high heat index) conditions, sweat production is restricted, leading to an amplified perception of heat. Excessive heat gain, when not shed effectively by the body, can result in increasing body temperatures and related hazards.
