Weather in August
Temperature
Lawrence experiences a minor change to a still hot 86.7°F (30.4°C) in average high-temperature during August, closely reflecting July. A sharp divergence from daytime highs is noted in Lawrence during the month of August, with the average nighttime temperature settling at a comfortable 65.1°F (18.4°C).Heat index
For August, the heat index is estimated at a very hot 95°F (35°C). Adopt enhanced safety measures, heat exhaustion and heat cramps could occur. Continuous activity may induce heatstroke.Understand that the heat index values take into account shaded locations and mild winds. Direct sunlight has the potential to heighten heat index values by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'felt air temperature' or 'real feel', is a measure that combines air temperature and relative humidity into a single value that indicates how hot the weather feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Being under direct sunshine can magnify the heat experience, possibly pushing up the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to babies and toddlers. Kids are usually in more danger than grown-ups as they tend to sweat less. Plus, their bigger skin surface in relation to their small frames and increased heat generation due to their activity level make them more susceptible.
As a reaction to high temperatures, the human body begins to perspire, using the evaporation of sweat to lower its temperature. When air moisture content is high, the cooling process through evaporation is not as efficient, leading to an ineffective body cooling process and a feeling of overheating. Overheating dangers loom when the body's heat release mechanisms are overshadowed by excessive gain.
