Weather in August
Temperature
Lee's Summit records an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C) in August, maintaining a close correlation with July's 86.5°F (30.3°C). Lee's Summit, in August, witnesses an average low-temperature of 66.6°F (19.2°C).Heat index
The heat index value for August is estimated at a torrid 95°F (35°C). Heightened safety actions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are probable. Persistent activity may lead to heatstroke.When considering the heat index, it's pivotal to note it is for shade and mild wind conditions. The direct sunshine could escalate the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'real feel' or 'feels like', determines the feeling of heat when you account for the relative humidity. The effect is personal, with varied weather perceptions among individuals due to differences in body mass, stature, and physical activity. Do note, being directly under sun rays can amplify the heat you feel, potentially raising the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values hold particular importance for children. 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 physiological response of the human body to excess warmth is to perspire, thereby cooling itself through sweat evaporation. When relative humidity is at high levels, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to keep more heat than it would in less humid conditions. If heat absorption isn't effectively countered by the body's cooling methods, body temperature surges, hinting at potential problems.
