Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is another tropical month in Lincoln, Missouri, with an average temperature varying between 65.8°F (18.8°C) and 86.5°F (30.3°C).

Temperature

Lincoln, Missouri, registers an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C) with the arrival of August, showing minor deviation from the preceding month. An average low-temperature of 65.8°F (18.8°C) is observed in Lincoln during the August nights.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Take extra precautions, as heat cramps and heat exhaustion are possible. Sustained activity may result in heatstroke.
Bear in mind that the heat index values are determined for shaded areas and light breezes. Direct sunlight can cause a surge in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', gauges the sensation of temperature factoring in the air's moisture content. Elements such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact one's weather perception. When directly under the sun, the weather's impact can intensify, possibly boosting the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are highly critical to babies and toddlers. Young ones often do not realize the necessity to rest and replenish their fluids. Thirst is a delayed indication of dehydration - keeping hydrated, particularly in prolonged physical activity, is crucial.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When there is an excess of moisture in the atmosphere, the efficiency of the evaporation process is lessened, leading to less efficient body cooling and a sensation of overheating. As the body accumulates more heat than it can release, body temperature goes up, increasing the risk of heat-related health issues.
