The last month of the summer, August, is also a hot month in Yukon, Missouri, with temperature in the range of an average high of 86.5°F (30.3°C) and an average low of 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Temperature

During August, Yukon records an average high-temperature of a still hot 86.5°F (30.3°C), marking a slight divergence from July's 88.9°F (31.6°C). Yukon's nighttime temperature during August is consistently averaged at a refreshing 65.8°F (18.8°C).

Heat index

The heat index in August is evaluated at a fiery hot 98.6°F (37°C). Extra precautions are necessary, heat cramps and heat exhaustion are plausible outcomes. Extended activity could lead to heatstroke.
Thinking about the heat index, one should account for its values in shaded areas with gentle breezes. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'apparent temperature' or 'real feel', is a single figure representing how weather conditions feel when combining temperature and humidity. Metabolic differences, pregnancy status, and the level of physical activity are additional factors influencing an individual's weather perception. With direct sunlight, be aware that it might enhance the heat sensation, raising the heat index by up to 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Young ones often disregard the necessity to rest and hydrate. Thirst usually indicates advanced dehydration - hence, it is key to stay hydrated, particularly during ongoing physical activities.
To offset high temperatures, the human body releases sweat which, upon evaporation, cools it down. When the relative humidity is high, the evaporation rate is reduced. The warmth is removed from the body at a lower rate, causing the body to retain more heat than it would in dry air. Heat disorders may be on the horizon when body temperatures rise from inadequate heat management.

Avoid overexposure. Fair-skinned individuals can burn in under 20 minutes. Minimize exposure to direct sunlight and seek shade from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., when UV radiation is most intense, but remember that shade structures may not offer complete protection. For optimum UV protection, wear sun-resistant attire complemented with a hat and quality shades.
