Weather in August

The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Scott City, Missouri, with an average temperature ranging between min 67.1°F (19.5°C) and max 86.2°F (30.1°C).

Temperature

The unfolding of August shows an average high-temperature of a still tropical 86.2°F (30.1°C), indicating a slight variance from July's 88.3°F (31.3°C). Nighttime temperature in Scott City lowers to an average of 67.1°F (19.5°C) in August.

Heat index

For most parts of August, the heat index is estimated at a torrid 98.6°F (37°C). Implement additional preventive actions, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are potential hazards. Heatstroke could follow prolonged activity.
When assessing, remember that heat index measurements are for light winds and shaded spots. Uninterrupted exposure to the sun may boost the heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculation that merges air temperature and relative humidity to depict the sensation of warmth. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Consider that direct sun exposure can intensify the felt heat, adding potentially 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees to the heat index. Heat index values hold great significance to children. Children frequently do not understand the need for recuperation and hydration. Thirst, being a late manifestation of dehydration, underlines the need to hydrate frequently, especially when engaging in prolonged physical exercises.
The human body keeps its cool primarily through perspiration, as this process enables sweat to evaporate, taking away the excess heat. Under high air temperature coupled with high humidity (high heat index), the body's perspiration is reduced, intensifying the sensation of heat. Rising body temperatures resulting from an imbalance in heat absorption can lead to potential thermal issues.

Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects.
