Weather in August
Temperature
Platte Woods's transition from July to August introduces an average high-temperature of a warm 84.7°F (29.3°C), marking an insignificant variation from the 86.5°F (30.3°C). In the month of August, the average temperature dips to an enjoyable 66.2°F (19°C) during the night.Heat index
In August, the average heat index is computed to be a torrid 95°F (35°C). Undertake special precautions, the probability of heat exhaustion and heat cramps is high. Prolonged activity may provoke heatstroke.Heat index guidelines indicate values are for light wind scenarios and shaded regions. The heat index could see an increase by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees under direct sunshine.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'feels like', combines both the air temperature and the humidity level to give a perceived human temperature. Factors such as metabolic variations, being pregnant, and physical activity can impact an individual's weather perception. Should you be directly under the sun, anticipate a possible increase in the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are especially vital to children. Juveniles are regularly less conscious of the need to recuperate and rehydrate. Thirst is a tardy symptom of dehydration - hydration, especially during lengthy physical activities, should be maintained.
The physiological way the human body responds to excessive heat is by inducing perspiration, using sweat evaporation as a cooling mechanism. Under conditions of increased relative humidity, the evaporation rate lessens, causing the body to retain more heat than under less humid conditions. If the body retains more heat than it can expel, the increasing temperature can lead to heat-related conditions.
