Weather in August

August, the last month of the summer in Shell Knob, is another tropical month, with an average temperature varying between 87.8°F (31°C) and 66.6°F (19.2°C).

Temperature

The weather during August records an average high-temperature of a still hot 87.8°F (31°C), closely mirroring the preceding month. Nighttime temperature experiences an average drop to a refreshing 66.6°F (19.2°C) in August.

Heat index

August's mean heat index is computed to be a sweltering 100.4°F (38°C). Implement additional safety measures to avoid heat cramps and heat exhaustion. Persistent activity might trigger heatstroke.
It is essential to grasp that the heat index's numbers are for shade and light wind settings. Heat index values have the potential to be boosted by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees due to direct sunlight.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a calculated temperature value of how hot it feels when the moisture in the air is factored in. The impact of temperature is individual, as people's perception of weather may change based on their body mass, height, and physical activity. Direct sunlight can potentially raise the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees, so it's crucial to consider. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Children frequently underestimate the importance of resting and drinking fluids. Thirst is a symptom of advanced dehydration - hence the need to hydrate regularly, especially during protracted physical exercises.
To achieve cooling, the human body employs perspiration, relying on the subsequent evaporation of sweat. Higher relative humidity impedes evaporation, thus reducing heat dispersion from the body, culminating in a sensation of overheating. When heat surpasses the body's release mechanisms, dehydration and overheating risks become pronounced.

Equip yourself with UVA and UVB-filtering sunglasses on clear, sunny days.
