Weather in August
Temperature
The introduction of August sees an average high-temperature of a moderately hot 85.6°F (29.8°C), hardly deviating from July. Marked by a significant drop from the daytime highs, North Platte's average low-temperature in August stands at a comfortable 63.1°F (17.3°C).Heat index
The average heat index in August is calculated to be a tropical 89.6°F (32°C). Enduring exposure and continuous activity might cause a feeling of tiredness and induce heat cramps.It is emphasized that the heat index's values are meant for shaded zones with mild winds. Being under direct sunlight might amplify the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'apparent temperature', is a composite of temperature and humidity figures to convey how warm it feels. The effect is experienced differently by individuals, hinging on unique characteristics such as body mass, stature, and level of activity. Given the impact of direct sunlight, it's noteworthy that the felt temperature can rise by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are essentially critical for children. Typically, young kids are at a higher risk than adults since they sweat less. Also, the larger skin surface in proportion to their small bodies and the heightened heat production due to their active nature adds to their vulnerability.
